Justin Edwards News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Recalled to NBA Philadelphia recalled Edwards from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday.

Impact Edwards is back with the parent team after racking up 67 minutes of play over two games in the G League. The 22-year-old has been a bench option for Philadelphia during most of the season and could retain that role in the short term, looking to improve on his averages of 5.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.6 minutes per contest.

Sent to G League The 76ers assigned Edwards to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Edwards was a healthy DNP for the 76ers' 130-119 win over the Knicks on Saturday. He should get more reps in the G League, and his lone appearance with the Blue Coats came in a win against the Capital City Go-Go on Dec. 16, when he finished with 37 points, four rebounds, one assist and six steals over 40 minutes.

Strong line off bench Edwards supplied 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes during Sunday's 129-104 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Joel Embiid's (ankle) absence opened up some breathing room in the rotation, and Edwards made the most of his opportunity this time. The forward has had a tough season overall, posting averages of 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 37.0 percent shooting from the field in 16.4 minutes across 27 appearances.

Back with parent club Philadelphia recalled Edwards from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Edwards was assigned to the Blue Coats on Sunday and played in their 120-110 G League win over the Capital City Go-Go on Monday, when he tallied a game-high 37 points (13-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT) along with four rebounds, one assist and six steals over 40 minutes. He's seen his playing time at the NBA level diminish as of late even in the absence of Kelly Oubre (knee), who has been sidelined since mid-November.

Transferred to G League The 76ers assigned Edwards to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Edwards has fallen out of favor in the Philadelphia rotation recently, as he didn't see the floor at all during the Dec. 7 loss to the Lakers. However, a move to the G League should increase his reps for the time being.

Coming off bench Friday Edwards is not in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Nets on Friday.

Impact 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.

Returns Tuesday Edwards returned to Tuesday's game against the Magic with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Starting Wednesday Edwards is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact 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 streamer in deep leagues for those seeking a cheap source of triples.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.
