Anthony Edwards changing his Timberwolves jersey number. So he's no longer No. 1

Anthony Edwards will have a slightly different look next season.

Edwards is switching his jersey number from No. 1 to No. 5, the Timberwolves announced Tuesday, and in doing so he is reclaiming a number that has been his for most of his life.

"Five has always been my number," Edwards said in an interview with Stadium. "High school, college, AAU, it's always been a number to me that I always wanted. I tried to get it when I got drafted. I just couldn't. My teammate had it. Opportunity presented itself this year and I just took it.
