The Minnesota Timberwolves are navigating the Anthony Edwards era with tact after parting ways with Karl-Anthony Towns in October. While the move was made to save cap space and rebuild the depth of the roster, there were reported trade talks with the Phoenix Suns about Kevin Durant at the NBA trade deadline.

The Minnesota Timberwolves wanted Kevin Durant but were unwilling to include one of their most valuable players to get the deal done.

On Sunday evening, the Timberwolves will hit the road to take on the Phoenix Suns, the team who they swept out of the playoffs in the first round a season ago. That electric matchup was in many ways a coming out party for Edwards, who was already considered a star but perhaps reached another level during that series.
