The Minnesota Timberwolves have been working out their kinks and figuring themselves out lately.
Last week, they traded away D’Angelo Russell, who has been a central part of the team for several seasons.
Meanwhile, they have been perfecting their lineup and finding a good rhythm, winning big games against the Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, and Dallas Mavericks.

Anthony Edwards, who is now the leader of the team in many ways, has been having a wonderful season.
He is averaging 24.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.
He is now first in steals and also first in total minutes played.
Edwards has helped his team claw and fight its way to the sixth seed in the West, far higher than where they were just a couple of months ago.
The team has been without Karl-Anthony Towns for some time as he has recovered from a right calf strain.
During that time, Edwards has looked more than comfortable stepping into the role of team leader.
He is now reaching career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, and steals.
Additionally, his field goal and three-point percentages have never been higher.
The Timberwolves ended last season on a roll but they started this year in rough shape.
It’s taken them some time but they are looking much better, playing well, and finding their footing.
Edwards has been at the center of that and the Timberwolves are elated by his production on the floor.
The team has one game against the Washington Wizards on Thursday before they get to enjoy the All-Star break.
What will Edwards do in his last game before vacation?
