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

Impact Edwards is back with the parent team after a productive G League outing in which he recorded 32 points, five rebounds and five steals against the Grand Rapids Gold on Saturday. He has been a depth option for the 76ers this season but may have a chance to see minutes off the bench in the next few games.

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

Impact Edwards has totaled just 16 minutes over his last three games with Philadelphia, and it looks the recent signing of Cameron Payne has left him as the odd man out in the rotation. Edwards is likely to occupy a featured role with the Blue Coats for the time being, though.

Only six minutes in loss Edwards accumulated two points (1-2 FG) in six minutes during Saturday's 126-111 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Edwards continues to play largely a muted role, logging fewer than eight minutes for the seventh time in the past 10 games. Three of those have been healthy DNP-CDs, an indication that his spot in the rotation is almost entirely reliant on the health of others. For now, he holds no real fantasy value.

Compiles 12 points from bench Edwards amassed 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 135-118 loss to Portland.

Impact After limited work as an injury replacement last season, Edwards has popped for a few productive games with the parent club during his second year with the Sixers. He's bounced back and forth between the NBA and the G League this season, but he figures to stick with the parent club until the team gets Paul George (suspension) back.

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.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
