PHOENIX — Anthony Edwards is now a three-time All-Star.

The Timberwolves guard earned his third consecutive appearance to the All-Star Game after coaches voted him as one of seven Western Conference reserves. Edwards is averaging a career high 26.3 points and shooting a career best 42% from 3-point range.

The format for All-Star Game is a four-team, three-game format that has eight players on each team. They will square in off in a mini-tournament Feb. 16 in San Francisco. The fourth team will be comprised of this season’s Rising Stars.

Edwards was named to the team two seasons ago as an injury replacement before coaches voted him as a reserve the following season.

Starters for the Western Conference team are Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Suns forward Kevin Durant and Lakers guard LeBron James. Joining Edwards as reserves are Lakers center Anthony Davis, Clippers guard James Harden, Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr., Rockets center Alperen Sengun, Thunder forward Jalen Williams and Spurs center Victor Wembanyama.

Starters for the Eastern Conference Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Cavs guard Donovan Mitchell, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Eastern Conference reserves include Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam, Cavs guard Darius Garland, Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, Cavs forward Evan Mobley, Bucks guard Damian Lillard and Heat guard Tyler Herro.
