Recalled by Brooklyn Edwards was recalled from the G League's Long Island Nets on Friday, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Edwards has been shuffled between Long Island and Brooklyn recently, but he'll rejoin the parent club ahead of Saturday's game against Washington. He hasn't appeared in a game with the parent club since Dec. 10, so it seems unlikely he'll get much playing time if he remains with the team for Saturday's matchup.

Recalled by Nets The Nets summoned Edwards from the team's G League Long Island affiliate Tuesday, Christian Arnold of Associated Press reports.

Impact Edwards was sent to the affiliate Monday, likely in an attempt to knock some rust off in game action since he hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Dec. 10. The second-year guard has just 13 games under his belt with the Nets and will likely see the vast majority of his playing time in the G League.

Impact Sharpe appeared in two games with Long Island and averaged 24.0 points, 15.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game. He should see fewer minutes now that he's back with the parent club, but he should be available for Brooklyn's matchup against Atlanta on Friday.

Moved to G League Edwards was sent to the G League on Thursday.

Available Sunday Edwards was recalled from the Long Island Nets ahead of Brooklyn's game against Portland on Sunday, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Out of rotation early Edwards notched no counting stats in one minute during Wednesday's 110-99 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Edwards logged minutes for just the second time all season, both of which have come during garbage time. He's clearly not a regular in the Nets' rotation at this point and would likely require a host of injuries to sniff fantasy relevance on a given night.

Nets sign Edwards to standard NBA contract before playoffs

The Brooklyn Nets have signed Kessler Edwards to a standard NBA contract, making him eligible to play in the postseason

APRIL 10, 2022 • Associated Press

Will be converted to full NBA deal The Nets will convert Edwards to a standard NBA contract in advance of the postseason, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Edwards has been playing on a two-way deal, meaning he would not be eligible to play in the postseason. In order to keep him available for the play-in tournament, and beyond, the Nets will move him to a full NBA deal and part ways with James Johnson in order to clear a roster spot. Edwards, a rookie out of Pepperdine, has appeared in 46 games this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 threes in 20.1 minutes per contest.

APRIL 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid production as reserve Edwards notched five points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 118-105 victory over Houston.

Impact With Bruce Brown back in action following a one-game absence due to an illness, Edwards reverted to his usual reserve role, but the rookie actually played five more minutes Tuesday than he did during Saturday's start. The 21-year-old forward struggled offensively, but he grabbed seven rebounds -- his most since Dec. 14 -- and finished with at least one steal and one block in the same game for the seventh time this season.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Edwards will move back to the bench for Tuesday's game against Houston.

Impact With Bruce Brown back in action, Edwards will move back to the bench after starting Saturday's loss to the Hawks. Edwards is unlikely to see enough run to be worth targeting in DFS contests.

APRIL 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Edwards will start Saturday's game against the Hawks, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards and Patty Mills join the starting five due to absences from Seth Curry (ankle) and Bruce Brown (illness). In Edwards' past nine starts, he's averaged 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 20.6 minutes.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs six rebounds in start Edwards closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact With Seth Curry (ankle) and Goran Dragic (knee) sidelined, Edwards joined the starting lineup for the first time since Feb. 17. Across 21 starts this season, the rookie has averaged 6.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 27.6 minutes per game.

MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact With Seth Curry (ankle) and Goran Dragic (knee) sidelined, Edwards will rejoin the starting lineup for the first time since Feb. 17. The 21-year-old is averaging 6.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per game this season.

Gets back on track Tuesday Edwards closed Tuesday's 150-108 victory over Orlando with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes.

Impact After playing just seven total minutes over the last five contests, Edwards returned to the rotation during Tuesday's blowout win. The rookie scored his most points since Jan. 23 and grabbed his most rebounds since Dec. 16, but his increased playing time and production likely stem from the absences of Cam Thomas (back) and Seth Curry (ankle).

MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Edwards will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Edwards will shift to the bench as James Johnson enters the starting five for the Nets' first game coming out of the All-Star break. He should still see plenty of run as a reserve on Thursday.
