Kessler Edwards News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Headed to Dallas The Mavericks are signing Edwards to a two-way contract Friday, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.

Impact Edwards received a minimal role for Sacramento in 2023-24, averaging just 5.1 minutes across 54 regular-season appearances. In Dallas, Edwards is now set to split time between the Mavericks and their G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.

To hit free agency The Kings did not extend a qualifying offer to Edwards, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Edwards is now set to become an unrestricted free agent. He made just 54 appearances for the Kings in 2023-24, but didn't make much of an impact with averages of 1.7 points in 5.1 minutes per contest.

Logs garbage time minutes in win Edwards ended with one rebound in two minutes during Tuesday's 118-94 Play-In Game win over the Warriors.

Impact Edwards closed the game Tuesday, handed a couple of garbage time minutes as the Kings eliminated the Warriors. It's been a disappointing season for Edwards and given his limited role, it is hard to see him featuring too much, even if the Kings advance to the playoffs.

Drops a donut in loss Edwards ended with no counting stats in one minute during Saturday's 98-91 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Edwards failed to bother the scorers once again Saturday, a common occurrence during what has been a dreadful season. He is the 468th-ranked player to this point, averaging 1.4 points per game. Clearly, he has no fantasy value.

Returns to NBA The Kings recalled Edwards from the G League's Stockton Kings on Saturday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Edwards will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the NBA. However, Edwards is unlikely to receive significant minutes for Sacramento.

Sent to G League The Kings assigned Edwards to the G League's Stockton Kings on Friday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Edwards has been an inconsistent part of Sacramento's rotation this season. However, the 23-year-old forward should receive increased playing time in the G League.

Impact Edwards and Colby Jones receive call-ups Sunday. Sacramento next takes the court Monday against Chicago.

Logs 15 minutes in win Edwards recorded four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 15 minutes during Friday's 133-122 win over the Pacers.

Impact Edwards logged double-digit minutes for just the fifth time all season and for the first time since late November. Given he had played a combined eight minutes in the previous eight games, this is not something that managers need to pay much attention to.

Recalled to Sacramento Sacramento recalled Edwards from the G league's Stockton Kings on Tuesday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Edwards has compiled just 47 minutes of action for Sacramento since the beginning of December. That being said, he's one of the more pedigreed wings in the G League, and he profiles as solid end-of-bench depth for the Kings.

Plays 15 minutes Monday Edwards totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one block over 15 minutes during Monday's 129-93 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Edwards saw increased playing time after Keegan Murray (back) and Chris Duarte (hand) left the contest early. Sasha Vezenkov (thumb) and Keon Ellis (ankle) were ruled out prior to tipoff, and Kevin Huerter played through a finger injury, so it's safe to say Sacramento is banged up at the moment. If any combination of those players misses additional time moving forward, Edwards is a candidate for a solid bench role. However, the Pepperdine product has played double-digit minutes just three times this season, averaging 0.9 points and 1.3 rebounds across eight appearances.

Hauls in four rebounds Edwards logged one point (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in nine minutes during Sunday's 112-99 preseason loss to Toronto.

Impact Although Edwards played single-digit minutes off the bench during Sunday's preseason opener, he finished second on the team in rebounds. He saw an increase in playing time after being traded from the Nets to the Kings last year, averaging 4.0 points and 2.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game over 21 appearances with Sacramento.

Steps it up Thursday Edwards logged 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-6 3PT, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes of Thursday's 93-80 Summer League win over Minnesota.

Impact Edwards will be relieved after this performance, as he's been having a shaky Summer League so far. In his previous five appearances, Edwards shot just 38.3 percent from the field with averages of 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.2 three-pointers.

Fails to score in 10 minutes Edwards finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes during Sunday's 109-95 loss to Denver.

Impact Edwards barely featured in the loss, playing 10 minutes as the Kings went with their second and third units. While he has actually been able to see regular minutes over the past month, Edwards has scored double-digits only three times, failing to have any sort of a tangible impact.

Moves back to bench Edwards isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Suns, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Kevin Huerter will replace Edwards in the starting lineup Friday after missing the previous three games with a knee injury. Edwards is averaging 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 15.0 minutes across his eight games coming off the bench this season.

Will start for injured Huerter Edwards will start Saturday's matchup against the Wizards, Gary Gerould of the Kings Radio Network reports.

Impact With Kevin Huerter (knee) missing his first game since Jan. 13, Edwards will step into the starting lineup. He's been a regular part of the rotation over the past four games, averaging 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21.5 minutes.

Enters rotation, makes impact Edwards played 26 minutes in Saturday's 128-119 win over the Suns, finishing with 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes.

Impact After having failed to get off the bench in either of the Kings' previous two contests, Edwards was a surprise entry into the rotation Saturday as a replacement for Terence Davis, who didn't see the floor in a coach's decision. The second-year forward was a plus-18 during his time on the court and played over struggling starter Keegan Murray (15 minutes) down the stretch. Though a 25-plus-minute role won't be guaranteed for Edwards moving forward, expect him to stick in the rotation for at least one more game after his strong showing Saturday.

Trade to Kings being finalized The Nets are finalizing a trade of Edwards and cash to the Kings on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Edwards still has to technically approve the trade, but that's expected to be the case. Ultimately, this is a salary and luxury tax saving measure by the Nets. According to Wojnarowski, the Kings are expected to give Edwards run in the G League with the Stockton Kings, though there's always a chance he's re-routed before Thursday's deadline. Edwards has played just 79 NBA minutes this season, totaling 15 points, 14 rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block.
