Anthony Edwards Announces Jersey Number Change
No. 1 to No. 5
In a surprising move, Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Anthony Edwards has announced that he will be changing his jersey number from No. 1 to No. 5. The news was first reported by The Athletic's Shams Charania in the 2023 offseason.
Edwards, who has been a cornerstone of the Timberwolves' success over the past three seasons, explained his decision in a sitdown interview with Stadium. "I just feel like it's time for a change," said Edwards. "I've grown as a player and as a person in the past three years, and I think this new number will better represent who I am now."
Edwards' decision is sure to come as a surprise to fans, as he has worn No. 1 since his debut in the NBA. However, the Timberwolves star is confident that the change will be for the best. "I'm excited about this new chapter in my career," said Edwards. "I think it's going to be a lot of fun."
Fans can now purchase officially licensed Anthony Edwards apparel and gear featuring his new number at the Timberwolves online store.
