Anthony Edwards’ offseason just got costlier.
The Timberwolves star was ordered to pay a monthly sum of $14,000 in child support to his ex, Alexandria Desroches, according to TMZ.
The payout — based on his monthly income of $4.8 million — will go toward Amir, a son born in 2023, the 25-year-old reportedly testified he’s never met, and has no intentions of parenting.

Edwards was also ordered to take out a life insurance policy worth $2.6 million and name Desroches the primary beneficiary.
The $14,000 bill comes on top of the $3,222 Edwards was ordered to pay in child support to Ayesha Howard for their one-year-old daughter last month.
Edwards, in the midst of a five-year, $244 million deal with the Timberwolves, paid over $100,000 in support to Howard beginning in 2025 before the Georgia judge’s ruling.
Last month, Minnesota marriage records indicated Edwards married Shannon Jackson after he was spotted at Fanatics Fest in New York wearing a wedding ring.
The four-time All-Star guard and first overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft will be entering his seventh NBA season in 2026-27, coming off a year in which he averaged a career-best 28.8 points per game to go with 5 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 61 games played with a personal high 39.9 three-point shooting percentage.

Pundits have posited that Edwards may be the next big-money player to request a trade, with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reporting his displeasure with the Minnesota franchise after it traded Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks for Julius Randle before last season.
“I don’t think Ant was the biggest Julius Randle fan,” Windhorst said on the “Hoop Collective” podcast in June. “And I don’t think [the issue is] Randle being traded. It’s Randle being traded as part of a salary dump. I don’t think that Ant was like, ‘No, no, don’t trade Julius, never.’ Because there was some significant disconnect between those players by the end of the season.”
On Friday, businessman Marc Stad bought a controlling share in the Timberwolves in a pending deal valued at $4.5 billion in what would be the fourth-highest in NBA history.
