Justin Edwards Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Wizards vs 76ers game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 28, 2025
Coming off bench Friday
Edwards is not in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Nets on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will revert to a bench role Friday after Paul George (ankle) was cleared to return. Edwards started in each of the 76ers' last four games, and over that span he averaged 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals over 27.0 minutes per game.
Nov 25, 2025
Returns Tuesday
Edwards returned to Tuesday's game against the Magic with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Edwards sustained an apparent foot injury earlier in the quarter, though he returned to the court shortly thereafter. He'll likely be good to go for the remainder of the game after checking back in.
Nov 25, 2025
Heads back to locker room
Edwards headed to the locker room due to an apparent foot injury in Tuesday's game against the Magic, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The Sixers lost Trenton Watford to an adductor injury, and now they might lose Edwards, another player who's been a serviceable contributor off the bench. Edwards had been a regular starter for the Sixers in recent days, and this game against the Magic was his fourth straight appearance in the first unit.
Nov 24, 2025
Plays season-high 32 minutes
Edwards posted seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Edwards made his third straight start due to the absence of Kelly Oubre (knee) and filled the stat sheet, providing two steals and two blocks in his 32 minutes. Edwards' minutes and usage have been trending upwards since being elevated to the starting lineup, and with Oubre out for a couple more weeks, the former may see himself in the starting lineup for the time being.
Nov 19, 2025
Scores eight points in start
Edwards logged eight points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during the 76ers' 121-112 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Edwards was inserted into the 76ers' starting lineup Wednesday for the second time this season due to the absences of Paul George (knee) and Kelly Oubre (knee). Edwards did all of his scoring in the first half, though his playing time dipped in the second half as Quentin Grimes started in the third quarter ahead of the former. Edwards averaged 15.2 minutes per game prior to Wednesday's contest, and he will likely revert to a reserve role against the Bucks on Thursday if George is cleared to play.
Nov 19, 2025
Starting Wednesday
Edwards is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Joining Edwards in the first unit for Wednesday's game will be Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond. Edwards can be viewed as a low-end streaming option in deep leagues for those seeking a cheap source of triples.
Nov 11, 2025
Pops for 22 points off bench
Edwards amassed 22 points (8-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 102-100 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Edwards turned in his best scoring performance of the 2025-26 campaign, as he nearly turned in a perfect shooting line. This marks the 21-year-old's first time finishing in double figures through eight appearances this season, ending a recent skid in which he'd been held to three or fewer points in four of his previous five games. Edwards has struggled to see consistent minutes off the bench, so his larger workload Tuesday could be a sign that he's close to carving out a more significant role.
Nov 6, 2025
Scores eight in loss
Edwards ended Wednesday's 132-121 loss to the Cavaliers with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Edwards hasn't been much of a factor in Philadelphia's rotation despite receiving a spot start Oct. 28 against the Wizards, but will continue to back up Kelly Oubre and likely see the court in the 12-17 minutes range. He is averaging 4.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.2 threes made.
Oct 31, 2025
Bench role Friday
Edwards will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Celtics, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After starting in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Edwards is back in the second unit with Jabari Walker getting the nod in the first five. Edwards is averaging 7.0 points and 1.0 rebounds per game, shooting 50 percent from the floor and 50 percent from beyond the arc.
Oct 28, 2025
Starting Tuesday
Edwards will start in Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old forward will supplant Jabari Walker in the starting lineup Tuesday. Edwards has appeared in two regular-season games, averaging 7.0 points and 1.0 rebounds across 15.5 minutes per contest.
Oct 25, 2025
Available vs. Charlotte
Edwards (ribs) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will make his season debut after dealing with a rib issue. It remains to be seen how big his role will be on this team, with Quentin Grimes potentially seeing more time off the bench.
Oct 24, 2025
Likely to play Friday
Edwards (ribs) is probable to play in Saturday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Edwards is dealing with a rib issue. However, he is trending toward playing to make his season debut. If he's unable to play, his next chance to get back on the floor will be Monday against the Magic.
Oct 17, 2025
Unlikely to start vs. Minnesota
Edwards is not expected to start in Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Sixers are undecided on who will occupy the role of fifth starter against the Timberwolves in their final pre-season tune-up, although Quentin Grimes seems to have the inside track for that nod over Edwards. Edwards should still see decent minutes off the bench, though, as he'd been starting in previous pre-season contests.
Oct 2, 2025
Expected to play Thursday
Edwards (rest) is expected to be available for Thursday's preseason game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards took a seat for the final Summer League games due to rest purposes, but he'll be back in action during the preseason opener. He's competing for a depth role at both forward spots after emerging as a solid rotation player for the injury-depleted 76ers last season.
Jul 18, 2025
Another absence coming Friday
Edwards (rest) is out for Friday's Summer League game against the Nets, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out Wednesday's tilt against the Mavericks, Edwards will continue to have his reps managed and rest Friday. The 21-year-old swingman made six starts during the Summer League, averaging 12.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.5 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per game.
Jul 16, 2025
Resting vs. Mavericks
Edwards (rest) won't play in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Mavericks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After logging 30 minutes in Tuesday's 91-90 victory over the Grizzlies, Edwards will get the night off Wednesday for the second half of Philadelphia's back-to-back set. With VJ Edgecombe also grabbing a seat against Dallas, Judah Mintz could be tasked with the heavy lifting on offense for the 76ers.
Jul 8, 2025
Scores 15 in SL win
Edwards totaled 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 91-90 Summer League victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Edwards responded to a tough shooting night Monday (27.3 percent from the field) with an efficient 15-point outing in Tuesday's win. The young wing had a strong rookie campaign in 2024-25 after going undrafted, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.3 minutes over 44 regular-season games, including 26 starts.
Jul 7, 2025
Shooting woes in Summer League loss
Edwards chipped in 11 points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 30 minutes in Monday's 89-78 Summer League loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Edwards struggled with efficiency but still finished as one of three Philadelphia players to score in double figures. The 21-year-old forward also led the club in rebounds and assists during the loss. The Kentucky product appeared in 44 regular-season games (26 starts) for Philadelphia during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 26.3 minutes per game.
Jun 27, 2025

ANALYSIS
Edwards (ribs) signed a two-way deal with the 76ers before having his contract converted to a standard contract in February. He played in 44 games during the 2024-25 campaign. The Kentucky product started in 26 games, averaging 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a starter while shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 13, 2025
Won't play vs. Chicago
Edwards (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.comreports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards' season has come to an end, as he won't be on the floor for Philadelphia on Sunday. The 76ers will likely turn to Lonnie Walker, Ricky Council and Marcus Bagley against Chicago, with Kelly Oubre (knee) also ruled out for this regular-season finale.
Apr 12, 2025
Questionable to play Sunday
Edwards (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has missed the 76ers' last three games due to a rib contusion, but he has a chance to return for Sunday's regular-season finale. Lonnie Walker would be in line to start for a fourth straight contest if Edwards is ruled out.
Apr 11, 2025
Not playing Friday
Edwards (ribs) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will miss a third straight game due to a rib contusion, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls. Lonnie Walker will likely remain in the 76ers' starting lineup due to Edwards' absence.
Apr 10, 2025
Iffy against Atlanta
Edwards (ribs) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Edwards had also been deemed questionable in Philadelphia's previous two outings before being ruled out due to a rib contusion. If Edwards is unable to suit up against Atlanta, Lonnie Walker will likely continue to start.
Apr 9, 2025
Not playing Wednesday
Edwards (ribs) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday will be the second straight game that Edwards will miss due to a rib contusion, and his next chance to play will be Friday against Atlanta. Marcus Bagley and Ricky Council are candidates to see their playing time increase due to Edwards' absence.
Apr 8, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
Edwards (ribs) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Edwards is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a rib contusion that he sustained during Saturday's loss to Minnesota. If the Kentucky product is unable to suit up against Washington, Ricky Council and Marcus Bagley will likely receive an uptick in playing time.
Apr 7, 2025
Won't play Monday
Edwards (ribs) is out for Monday's game against the Heat, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
After exiting Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to a rib contusion, Edwards will need to miss at least one contest Monday. His next chance to return is Wednesday against the Wizards. Lonnie Walker should see a bump in playing time against the Heat, with Marcus Bagley and Jalen Hood-Schifino also in line for extra minutes.
Apr 6, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Edwards (ribs) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards suffered a rib contusion during Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, which has put his status for Monday's game in Miami in question. If he cannot play against the Heat, the 76ers will likely turn to Lonnie Walker and Ricky Council to shoulder the load.
Apr 5, 2025
Won't return Saturday
Edwards won't return to Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to a rib contusion, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards exited the game briefly in the first half but returned quickly. However, this time, he won't return to the hardwood. He finished the game with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), a rebound, a steal and a block across 11 minutes.
Apr 2, 2025
Muted performance in loss
Edwards recorded six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has gone cold for the 76ers, hitting a combined 9-of-24 from the field over his last two games. His workloads have remained steady for the shorthanded 76ers, however, and fantasy managers will be hoping to see some positive regression with his shooting going forward after a terrific March.
Mar 26, 2025
Two-way showing in double-double
Edwards accumulated 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and five steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Edwards did a little bit of everything for Philadelphia in Wednesday's contest, leading all players in rebounds and steals while finishing one point shy of the 20-point mark in a double-double performance. Edwards set new season-high totals in rebounds and steals, posting his sixth outing of the year with 19 or more points.
Mar 25, 2025
Productive again in Monday's loss
Edwards accumulated 19 points (6-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie forward tied Jared Butler for the scoring lead on the shorthanded Sixers. Edwards has been part of the starting five in 11 straight appearances and scored in double digits in six straight games, averaging 18.8 points, 3.3 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks during the latter span while shooting 45.0 percent (18-for-40) from beyond the arc.
Mar 24, 2025
Puts up 22 points Sunday
Edwards ended with 22 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 39 minutes during Sunday's 132-119 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has surpassed the 15-point mark in his last four appearances and has cleared the 20-point plateau in the previous two, so he's settling himself as a reliable scoring weapon for the Sixers. He's started in every one of his last 10 appearances since March 3, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest.
Mar 22, 2025
Efficient in loss to Spurs
Edwards notched 25 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 38 minutes during Friday's 128-120 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Edwards was very efficient despite the final outcome of the game, as he missed just five of his 14 shots from the floor, but his efforts were not enough to lift the 76ers to victory in this battle of two teams that are probably thinking more about the 2025-26 season than the current one. Edwards has been taking advantage of the Sixers' struggles and has carved a nice role in the rotation, starting in each of his last nine appearances. Over that stretch, he's averaging 13.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 29.8 minutes per contest.
Mar 18, 2025
Decent stat line Monday
Edwards closed with 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has started in each of his last seven appearances and has looked productive in that span, averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers made per game in that span. Edwards has been taking advantage of the fact that Kelly Oubre has missed time of late with a right knee sprain, and the former Kentucky standout should continue to take advantage of his minutes as long as he gets the chance to play regularly.
Mar 16, 2025
Reaches double figures in return
Edwards racked up 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and two steals over 21 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Edwards returned Sunday after missing Philadelphia's previous contest with a left ankle sprain, reaching double figures in the starting lineup despite struggling to find his shot from deep. Edwards has reached double figures in scoring in 13 outings, posting at least 10 points and four rebounds on nine occasions.
Mar 15, 2025
Fades injury report
Edwards (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Edwards did not play in Friday's loss against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain, but it appears he will return Sunday from a one-game absence. He's started in each of his last five outings, and over that span he has averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals over 27.8 minutes per game.
Mar 14, 2025
Out Friday
Edwards (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers will be extremely depleted for this matchup against the Pacers and Edwards is one of the many players that won't be suiting up. His next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Sunday.
Mar 13, 2025
Questionable for Friday
Edwards is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Edwards continues to deal with an ankle injury but has been able to suit up in Edward's previous four contests. However, if Edwards is downgraded to out, Ricky Council and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Mar 6, 2025
Available and starting
Edwards (ankle) is starting Thursday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Edwards carried a questionable tag right up until tipoff, but the team has since announced that he'll run with the starting unit Thursday. This marks his second straight start. Edwards put up 16 points across 37 minutes Monday against the Blazers.
Mar 5, 2025
Iffy for Thursday
Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Boston.
ANALYSIS
Edwards, who has missed four games since the All-Star break, continues to battle an ankle sprain. The 76ers are very shorthanded these days, so Edwards could have some streaming appeal once he's able to shake off this injury.
Mar 4, 2025
Won't suit up Tuesday
Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will miss his fourth outing since the All-Star break after aggravating a sprained left ankle during the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers. Head coach Nick Nurse relayed after Monday's game that Edwards would travel with the team for its two-game road trip, meaning he could return for Thursday's game against Boston, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com.
Mar 4, 2025
Questionable Tuesday
Edwards (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards is nursing a sprained left ankle, which he suffered in Monday's loss against Portland. He's coming off his 10th start of the season for the 76ers and could be in the starting lineup again if cleared to play Tuesday in Minnesota.
Mar 3, 2025
Day-to-day with ankle sprain
Head coach Nick Nurse said postgame that Edwards is considered day-to-day after sustaining a left ankle sprain during Monday's 119-102 loss to the Trail Blazers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards re-sprained the left ankle that he injured in practice during the All-Star break. He finished the game with 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 37 minutes before heading to the locker room. The 21-year-old previously missed three consecutive outings due to the left ankle sprain, though Nurse relayed that he'll travel with the team ahead of Tuesday's game against Minnesota, per Aaronson.
Mar 3, 2025
Heads to locker room Monday
Edwards sustained an apparent leg injury toward the end of the fourth quarter and left for the locker room during Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards appeared to be in a considerable amount of pain, staying down for an extended period before limping to the back. The 21-year-old out of Kentucky won't return in the final minute of the contest, and his status for Tuesday's game against Minnesota is now up in the air. Edwards will likely undergo further testing before the Sixers provide more details on the injury.
Mar 3, 2025
Starting Monday vs. Portland
Edwards is in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has played in the 76ers' last two games after missing the prior three contests due to a left ankle sprain. He'll make his 10th start of the season Monday due to the absences of Paul George (groin) and Kelly Oubre (illness). Across his nine starts earlier in the season, Edwards averaged 9.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 steals over 28.7 minutes per game.
Feb 26, 2025
Will have restrictions in return
Edwards (ankle) will have a minutes restriction in Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will end a three-game absence with an ankle injury Wednesday, but he'll carry a minutes limit in the mid-20s range. The undrafted rookie has averaged 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes across his last seven contests, but his fantasy appeal will take a hit until his restrictions are lifted.
Feb 25, 2025
Probable against Knicks
Edwards (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards is likely to end a three-game absence with an ankle injury Wednesday. The undrafted rookie has averaged 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes over his last seven games, although he's likely to see a downtick in playing time against New York with Paul George healthy and Quentin Grimes (knee) probable.
Feb 23, 2025
Won't return Monday vs. Bulls
Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Chicago, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will miss a third consecutive game Monday due to a left ankle injury, and his next opportunity to see the floor is Wednesday against the Knicks. Ricky Council and David Roddy should continue to see increased playing time in Edwards' absence.
Feb 23, 2025
Iffy for Monday
Coach Nick Nurse said Edwards (ankle) participated in about "75 percent" of Sunday's practice and is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has missed two straight games due to an ankle injury but is nearing a return to action. With Joel Embiid (knee) missing practice again, Edwards should have a hefty role when given the green light again.
Feb 19, 2025
Out at least two games
Edwards (ankle) will miss at least the next two games for the 76ers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will be sidelined for Thursday's game versus Boston and Saturday's game against Brooklyn at the minimum. He'll be re-evaluated early next week, but it's unclear if he'll be ready in time for Monday's game against Chicago. With Edwards sidelined, guys like Quentim Grimes and Ricky Council could see a bump in playing time.
Feb 18, 2025
Dealing with ankle sprain
Edwards sustained a sprained left ankle during Tuesday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of the ankle injury is unclear, though Edwards can be considered questionable at best for Thursday's contest against Boston until the Sixers provide another update. The 21-year-old has received an increased role of late, and over his last 10 outings (nine starts), he has averaged 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals across 28.9 minutes per game. If Edwards is sidelined, Ricky Council and Quentin Grimes could see an uptick in playing time.
Feb 12, 2025
Heads to bench Wednesday
Edwards is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Quentin Grimes will get the nod in Philadelphia's starting lineup Wednesday despite the absence of Tyrese Maxey (knee). Edwards has averaged 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.7 steals in 20.3 minutes across 15 games off the 76ers' bench this season.
Feb 9, 2025
Will start Sunday
Updating a previous report, Edwards will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Guerschon Yabusele was originally slated to start in his return to game action, though the Sixers have decided to keep Edwards in the starting five on Sunday. The 21-year-old has started in seven consecutive contests, averaging 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.
Feb 9, 2025
Reverts back to bench Sunday
Edwards will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bucks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Guerschon Yabusele (knee) returning to game action Sunday, Edwards will slide to the bench. The 21-year-old had started in seven consecutive contests, during which he averaged 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.
Feb 8, 2025
Inks standard deal
The 76ers converted Edwards' two-way contract to a standard deal for the remainder of the 2024-25 season Saturday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will take up one of the roster spots vacated when the 76ers traded away Caleb Martin (hip) and KJ Martin. Edwards has split time between the NBA and G League this season as a two-way player but will get to spend the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign with the 76ers. The rookie forward has also started in Philadelphia's last seven outings, averaging 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.4 minutes.
Feb 2, 2025
Posts 12 points with full stat line
Edwards produced 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 44 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
It was serviceable effort by Edwards, who turned in an efficient 12 points with a full stat line while taking on a heavy workload. Over his past five games (four starts), the undrafted rookie has averaged 8.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes. Edwards should remain fantasy relevant as a short-term streamer for swipes and treys until Paul George (finger) is ready to get back on the court for the 76ers, but the former has a two-way contract that puts him at risk of being sent back to the G League once Philadelphia gets healthier.
Jan 28, 2025
Starting sans George
Edwards will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
With Paul George (finger) on the shelf, Edwards will receive the starting nod. The two-way forward has appeared in eight consecutive contests off the bench for Philadelphia, during which he has averaged 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.
Jan 26, 2025
Leads team in swipes Saturday
Edwards finished with three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three steals and two rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 109-97 victory over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Edwards posted a game-high mark in steals, though he struggled to find his rhythm shooting the rock. The 21-year-old has played at least 20 minutes in eight consecutive contests with Joel Embiid (knee), Caleb Martin (hip) and KJ Martin (hip) on the shelf, and in that eight-game span, he has averaged 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.0 minutes per contest.
Jan 14, 2025
Leads Philadelphia in loss
Edwards racked up 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Edwards posted a team- and career-high 25 points off the bench, albeit in a losing effort. The 21-year-old saw extended run with most of the the Philadelphia rotation sidelined, including Joel Embiid (foot), Paul George (ankle), Tyrese Maxey (hand), Caleb Martin (groin) and KJ Martin (foot). Edwards is not likely to see extended playing time moving forward, as most of the Sixers' squad is considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Jan 14, 2025
Officially good to go
Edwards (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. With Paul George (ankle) and Caleb Martin (groin) out, Edwards could be in store for increased playing time.
Jan 14, 2025
Probable for Tuesday
Edwards is probable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder with a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Edwards, but the probable tag suggests that it's a very mild sprain. Edwards has seen 14.5 minutes per game in January with 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers across six outings.

Sets multiple career-highs in win
Edwards dropped 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds and an assist during 23 minutes of action in the win over the Nets on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
With his team leading by double-digits for the majority of the game and first-year phenom Jared McCain (knee) sidelined for the foreseeable future, Edwards was afforded the biggest opportunity of his young career thus far, having previously played nine minutes at the most. He outplayed veterans Eric Gordon and Reggie Jackson in the contest, but Paul George and Caleb Martin remained ahead of him on the depth chart. Edwards will look to build on his performance Monday against the Suns.

Inks two-way deal with 76ers
Edwards inked a two-way contract with the 76ers on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards, out of Kentucky, is a decent three-point shooter and athlete with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, so he has some potential to develop into a 3-and-D guy. However, he'll spend most of the season with the 76ers' G League affiliate and can be safely ignored in most fantasy leagues.
