MARCH 31, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Thursday Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Boston.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday vs. Portland Edwards is in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact 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.

MARCH 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.
