For three straight seasons from 2022-23 until 2024-25, Anthony Edwards missed only three outings while appearing in 79. In an era of load management and sitting out players more frequently, Ant-Man has been one of the more durable superstars in the league.
Unfortunately, this season, Edwards has been forced to miss more games than he previously has. With the announcement that the 24-year-old would miss his second consecutive game on Friday, the hope remains that Ant doesn’t miss too many more so he can be eligible for end-of-season honors, including MVP.
Edwards to miss ninth game on Friday
Friday will make the ninth contest that Edwards will miss this season, the same amount that he missed over the last three years combined.
