Stars Doncic and Edwards aching but ready to duel
The Straits Times
|October 25, 2025
A pair of teams intent on finding more from their National Basketball Association (NBA) early-season game plans meet on Oct 24 (Oct 25, Singapore time) when the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Los Angeles Lakers in the second game for both.
-
The matchup revisits last season’s first-round playoff series, when the No. 6 seed Timberwolves advanced in five games over the third-seeded Lakers.
While the Lakers were upended 119-109 by the Golden State Warriors on Oct 21, Minnesota won their season opener on Oct 22 on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers 118-114.
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards did his part with 41 points and seven rebounds. He went 14 of 28 from the floor and his five three-pointers topped his average of 4.1 per game last season.
Edwards played after he was listed as questionable with back spasms.
“It’s hurting. I’m in pain right now,” he said after the victory. “But I was good throughout the game.”
