NBA player Anthony Edwards’ high earnings have been revealed amid his child support battle with ex Alexandria Desroches.
According to court documents filed on May 19 and obtained by Us Weekly, Edwards, 24, monthly gross income was listed as $4,783,744. His adjusted income, which is configured after tax deductions, was $4,778,744.
Edwards’ seven-figure income includes his monthly salary of $3,416,288.00 as a player for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He also receives additional income from endorsements and interest dividends. His endorsements earned him $1,360,956 while he received $3,250 from dividends.
Desroches income was listed at $0, per the docs.
Edwards signed a five-year designated rookie maximum extension contract with the Timberwolves for $244,623,120. The agreement went into effect during the 2024 season. Edwards will remain under that contract until he is eligible for free agency in 2029.
At the time of filing, Edwards was paying Desroches $3,222 in child support for their son, Amir, whom they welcomed in 2023. It’s noted that $3,222 is the basic child support obligation per month, according to the docs.
An additional child support worksheet was completed later that month on May 21. The updated document listed Edwards’ monthly gross income as $3,364,911.06, a million less than he originally listed.
Desroches’ listed her monthly gross income as $1,016, per the child support worksheet.
The basic child support obligation was still listed at $3,222. However, $9,279.00 added for deviations from presumptive child support. Edwards must pay Desroches a total of $12,500 in child support per month.
In April, Desroches filed a combined petition for custody, child support and a declaration of paternity against Edwards. The documents claimed that Edwards is the biological father of Amir who was born in October 2023.
“She is raising a child as a single mother and has an open-door policy for [Anthony] to see the child,” Desroches’ lawyer Al Hedayati told In Touch in April.
Us previously reached out to Edwards’ spokesperson for comment but did not hear back.
Meanwhile, Edwards is also involved in another paternity suit with ex Ayesha Howard over their daughter Aubri’ Summers Howard. Edwards filed a paternity suit in October 2024.
According to docs obtained by Us, the athlete asked for a DNA test using a “neutral and licensed laboratory.” Edwards was “not seeking child custody or visitation of Aubri” and claimed “the only issues to be resolved [were] financial in nature,” per the filing. Howard has sole legal and physical custody of Aubri.
