Anthony Edwards’ Income Revealed in Child Support Battle

The substantial earnings of NBA player Anthony Edwards have come to light amid his child support dispute with Alexandria Desroches.

According to court documents filed on May 19 and accessed by Us Weekly, Edwards, 24, reported a monthly gross income of $4,783,744. After tax deductions, his adjusted income stood at $4,778,744.

Edwards’ significant income includes his $3,416,288 monthly salary as a player for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Additionally, he earns from endorsements and interest dividends, bringing in $1,360,956 from endorsements and $3,250 from dividends.

Desroches’ income was reported as $0, according to the documents.

Edwards has secured a five-year designated rookie maximum extension contract with the Timberwolves, valued at $244,623,120. This agreement commenced in the 2024 season and will keep him under contract until 2029, when he becomes a free agent.

At the time of filing, Edwards was providing Desroches with $3,222 in monthly child support for their son, Amir, born in 2023. This amount represents the basic child support obligation, according to the documents.

A subsequent child support worksheet was submitted on May 21, which revised Edwards’ monthly gross income to $3,364,911.06, about a million less than initially reported.

According to the child support worksheet, Desroches’ monthly gross income was listed as $1,016.

While the basic child support obligation remained $3,222, an additional $9,279.00 was added due to deviations from the standard child support, requiring Edwards to pay a total of $12,500 in child support monthly.

In April, Desroches filed a petition for custody, child support, and a declaration of paternity, claiming Edwards is the biological father of Amir, who was born in October 2023.

“She is raising a child as a single mother and maintains an open-door policy for [Anthony] to see the child,” Desroches’ lawyer Al Hedayati commented to In Touch in April.

In parallel, Edwards is also involved in another paternity case with Ayesha Howard concerning their daughter, Aubri’ Summers Howard. Edwards initiated a paternity suit in October 2024.

Documents acquired by Us reveal that the athlete requested a DNA test from a “neutral and licensed laboratory.” Edwards stated he was “not seeking child custody or visitation of Aubri” and indicated that “the only issues to be resolved [were] financial in nature,” according to the filing. Howard holds sole legal and physical custody of Aubri.
