Anthony Edwards is sidelined due to right knee pain, preventing him from reaching the 65-game threshold required for postseason awards eligibility. Despite averaging 29.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season, his absence will likely exclude him from making the All-NBA team for the third time. He joins Cade Cunningham in missing out on recognition because of this rule, which NBA Commissioner Adam Silver asserts is effective and unlikely to change.
