Impact Edwards spent the 2024-25 season on a two-way deal with the Mavericks, and he's now lined up to provide frontcourt depth for the Nuggets in 2025-26. The veteran sharpshooter averaged 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.2 minutes per game while shooting 40.7 percent from downtown over 40 regular-season outings a year ago, and Edwards will be competing with Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Peyton Watson for minutes in Denver.

Poor numbers in spot start Edwards was charged with a foul and logged four rebounds while recording no other statistics over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks.

Impact After he was inactive for the Mavericks' previous two contests, Edwards returned to action Tuesday and moved into the starting five while Anthony Davis (adductor) rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Edwards offered limited production during his time on the court, and it's now likely that he's made his last appearance of the season for Dallas. He's now been active for 50 games at the NBA level this season, the maximum amount allotted to players on two-way contracts. Due to their salary-cap situation, the Mavericks are unable to sign Edwards or one of their other two-way players (Brandon Williams and Kai Jones) to a standard NBA contract until April 10, when the team will only have two games left in the regular season. Edwards will likely continue to play with the G League's Texas Legends in the meantime, but if his time with Dallas is in fact over, he'll finish the season with averages of 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 15.2 minutes per contest over 40 appearances.

Starting sans Davis Edwards will start in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The two-way forward will receive the starting nod due to Anthony Davis (thigh) being sidelined. Edwards has been inactive for the club's last two games, as he is one game away from reaching the maximum amount of games allotted to two-way players. After Tuesday's game, the 24-year-old is expected to rejoin the club's G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, for the remainder of its season. However, the Mavericks could sign Edwards to a standard contract starting April 10, so there remains a possibility that he could suit up for the parent club again this year.

Expected to play Tuesday The Mavericks are expected to make Edwards active for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Impact Since signing a two-way deal with Dallas in August, Edwards has been active for 49 games at the NBA level, one less than the maximum amount allotted to two-way players. Because he's approaching the 50-game limit, the Mavericks opted to make Edwards inactive for their last two contests, but with Anthony Davis (adductor) in line to rest against the Knicks after returning from a lengthy absence in Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets, Edwards will likely be tasked with filling minutes in the frontcourt Tuesday. Due to their salary-cap situation, the Mavericks aren't able to sign any player to the 15-man roster until April 10, when the team would have just two games left in the regular season. Even if Edwards isn't upgraded off his two-way deal until after that date, he would still be able to play in G League games with the Texas Legends in the meantime.

Remaining inactive Monday Edwards (coach's decision) won't play in Monday's game against the Nets, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Edwards has only one game of eligibility remaining on his two-way contract and will be inactive for a second consecutive contest. Anthony Davis will return to the club's frontcourt Monday, though he isn't likely to play in the second half of the club's back-to-back set against the Knicks on Tuesday, meaning Edwards could return against New York.

Will be inactive Friday Head coach Jason Kidd said that Edwards (not injury related) won't play in Friday's game against the Pistons, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Edwards has just one game of eligibility remaining on his two-way contract, though Kidd relayed that the forward will travel with the team for its upcoming four-game road trip. The Mavericks will likely still be without Anthony Davis (thigh), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (knee) during that road trip, meaning the club could rely heavily on Kai Jones and Dwight Powell at center.

Swats away career-high four shots Edwards tallied 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 35 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 133-96 loss to the Rockets.

Impact The Mavericks were shorthanded in the frontcourt once again Friday, allowing Edwards to pick up his fifth consecutive start at center. He's produced well during that five-game stretch with averages of 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest, but Edwards' run of fantasy value will soon come to an end. A two-way player, Edwards has been active for 47 of the Mavericks' games this season, so he'll be able to suit up for just three of the team's remaining 14 contests. The imminent returns of P.J. Washington (ankle) and Kai Jones (quadricep) may also result in Edwards losing out on playing time over his final three appearances of the season.

Double-doubles in victory Edwards finished with 22 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 133-129 win over San Antonio.

Impact The two-way forward drew his third consecutive start due to P.J. Washington (ankle) being sidelined. Edwards posted a career high in points Monday, as well as a game- and career-best mark in rebounds. He logged his second career double-double in the win, with his first coming during his rookie year in Brooklyn on Dec. 14, 2021. The big man has played at least 22 minutes in each of his last five appearances, and he will likely continue to see significant playing time due to a litany of injuries in the Dallas frontcourt.
