"Coming off a monster game in their Play-In victory over the LA Clippers, Edwards kept it rolling in his playoff debut."

"Edwards scored 36 points to lead the Timberwolves to a 130-117 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of their first-round series Saturday."

"In the meantime, Edwards can bask in his big game. His 36 points are tied for the most ever in a playoff debut, behind only Luka Doncic (42 in 2020) and George Mikan (37 in 1949)."

"Edwards' 36 is the most points scored by a Timberwolves player in their first career playoff game, beating Stephon Marbury's previous high of 28 points."

"Only two players in NBA history have scored more points in a playoff game before turning 21 years old in Magic Johnson (42) and Tyler Herro (37)."

"Edwards is also the third-youngest player behind Derrick Rose and Herro to score 35-plus points in a playoff game."

"The 20-year-old torched the Grizzlies with a mix of confident drives to the hoop, off-the-dribble 3-pointers and mid-range jumpers, keeping the defense guessing with his offensive arsenal."
