Youngest to Reach the Milestone Lands in Thrilling Fashion

Anthony Edwards reached a historic milestone on Thursday night, becoming the third-youngest player in NBA history to score 10,000 career points. With a swish of his shot clock-expiring jumpers have become less reliable, Edwards sank a clutch fadeaway from just beyond the baseline as the Timberwolves trailed Cleveland by one with 6:37 left on the clock. At just 24 years and 156 days old, he surpassed LeBron James and Kevin Durant, who reached the mark at ages 23 years, 59 days and 24 years, 33 days respectively. Edwards’ achievement is part of an elite group of players who have hit 10,000 career points before turning 25. Other notable names in this club include Kobe Bryant, Luka Doncic, Tracy McGrady, and Carmelo Anthony, further solidifying Edwards’ status as one of the league’s most gifted talents. Edwards’ performance served as a fitting culmination to an incredible start to the game, during which he scored 32 points on 11-19 shooting.
