Wolves rookie Anthony Edwards hits head on backboard in poster dunk on Nikola Jokic

No. 1 pick Anthony Edwards is experiencing some expected growing pains early in his NBA career.

The Minnesota Timberwolves rookie is also recording his fair share of highlights — none more exciting than a poster dunk he landed Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets.

The 6-foot-5 shooting guard found himself in prime position in the second quarter when teammate Jarred Vanderbilt corralled an offensive rebound over Nuggets All-Pro center Nikola Jokic. Once Vanderbilt gathered the loose ball, he immediately found Edwards on the baseline with a bounce pass.
