Anthony Edwards Switching Back to Number 5 Jersey
Timberwolves Star to Reclaim Former Number
After wearing No. 1 for the first three seasons of his NBA career, Anthony Edwards is making a change. The Timberwolves star announced Tuesday that he will be switching back to No. 5, the number he wore before entering the league.
The move is a nostalgic one for Edwards, who grew up wearing No. 5. He wore it during his high school and college years, and it was the number he wore when he was drafted by the Timberwolves in 2020.
"It's a special number to me," Edwards said. "It's the number I've always worn, and it's the number I feel most comfortable in."
Edwards' decision to switch back to No. 5 is a sign of his maturity and confidence. He is now one of the most recognizable players in the NBA, and he is ready to embrace his role as a leader on and off the court.
"I'm excited about the future with this team," Edwards said. "We have a lot of young talent, and I believe we can be a contender. I'm ready to do my part to help us get there."
