Edwards scored more than 40 points for the second straight night, finding an energy boost from Houston's chippy, chirpy ways.

Anthony Edwards had 41 points, seven rebounds and six assists on Thursday night as the Minnesota Timberwolves rallied to beat the Houston Rockets 127-114.

The Rockets are acquiring their 2028 second-round draft pick from Atlanta in exchange for taking on the salary of veteran Hawks center Cody Zeller.

Just one day after the Celtics traded Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets, the 22-year-old guard will need to find a new home. Multiple reports indicate that the Rockets have elected to waive Springer after officially completing the trade with Boston on Thursday morning.

The Houston Rockets made if official on Thursday, acquiring fourth-year guard Jaden Springer from the Boston Celtics along with a pair of second-round picks in 2027 (protected) and 2030 (unprotected).
