Anthony Edwards is moving back to shooting guard as the Minnesota Timberwolves shift LaMelo Ball into the primary point-guard role. NBA.com reports that coach Chris Finch’s previous experiment with Edwards at point guard hurt the team, while Minnesota’s summer trade for Ball enabled the change. Edwards played a career-low 61 games last season, making improved health and a clearer role central to the Timberwolves’ attempt to build on three straight deep playoff runs. The final opening-night lineup remains unconfirmed.
