Productive in season finale Edwards chipped in four points (1-7 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and five steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 88-72 loss to the Dream.

Impact Edwards wasn't particularly efficient from the floor during Wednesday's regular-season finale, but she posted a season-high mark in steals while also tying her season-best mark in rebounds during the loss. Edwards showed promise as a rookie with the Mystics in 2024 but struggled to replicate that production this season, even after being traded from Washington to Connecticut in early August. Over 36 appearances between the two clubs, the 23-year-old averaged 5.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game. Edwards could see a slight increase in usage next year if some of the team's veterans sign elsewhere, but the Sun also have plenty of young talent, so Edwards will likely have to settle for a complementary role in 2026.

Thrust into larger role Edwards amassed four points (2-6 FG), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 88-64 loss to the Sky.

Impact Edwards took advantage of a huge bump in playing time, as Aneesah Morrow (chest) left the game early due to a chest injury. Edwards wasn't terribly effective shooting the ball, but she was strong on the glass, while showing off good hands on the defensive end. If Morrow is sidelined, Edwards could see a bump in responsibilities.

Paces bench in loss Edwards recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 5-8 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Saturday's 94-70 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Edwards led the Sun's second unit in points and was the team's third-leading scorer in the blowout loss. After logging single-digit minutes in Wednesday's win over Dallas for the first time since being acquired by Connecticut on Aug. 7, the second-year forward played a season-high 21 minutes with Olivia Nelson-Ododa (back) sidelined. Edwards has appeared in 10 games with the Sun, posting double-digit points in two of them.

Impact Edwards had a quiet night on the offensive end but still recorded a game-high mark in blocks. The second-year forward has appeared in seven games with the Sun since being traded, during which she has averaged 5.3 points and 3.6 rebounds across 15.1 minutes per game.

Tallies 10 points off bench Edwards ended Thursday's 67-56 win over Washington with 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-6 FT) and five rebounds over 16 minutes.

Impact Edwards was efficient from the floor and made the most of her 16 minutes, as this was the first time she scored in double digits since the All-Star break. As good as she was Thursday, though, it's hard to see Edwards putting up this level of efficiency on a regular basis. Plus, the fact that she's averaging 12.2 minutes per game off the bench since the break limits her upside considerably.

AUGUST 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Heading to Connecticut Edwards was traded from the Mystics to the Sun on Thursday in exchange for Jacy Sheldon and a 2026 first-round pick swap, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Impact After an encouraging rookie season in 2024 in which Edwards averaged 7.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game, she took a step back to begin the 2025 campaign, averaging just 6.0 points and 3.3 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game. The 23-year-old should have a chance to carve out a larger role in the rotation with the rebuilding Sun, though she could have to compete with rookie forward Aneesah Morrow for minutes over the final month of the regular season. Although the trade has been finalized, it seems unlikely that Edwards will join Connecticut in time for Thursday's game against Los Angeles.
