Won't start Tuesday Edwards won't start Tuesday's game against the Fire.

Impact With Brittney Griner back from a two-game absence due to a quadriceps strain, Edwards will slide to the second unit. Over four appearances off the bench this season, the third-year forward has averaged 8.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.8 minutes per tilt.

Logs two steals in loss Edwards finished with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes in Friday's 79-64 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Edwards combined for seven points in her previous two games ahead of Friday's meeting with the Valkyries. She responded by scoring her third 11-point effort in her last six appearances while recording her first multi-steal performance since the 89-80 loss to the Liberty on June 8. Edwards hasn't been a consistent contributor for Connecticut during the 2026 campaign, though she has a better chance of remaining more productive than usual if she continues to start. However, for that to happen, Brittney Griner (quadriceps) will likely have to miss more time.

Impact The 23-year-old forward will come off the bench for the first time this season, opening the door for Olivia Nelson-Ododa to enter the starting five. Over her last five outings, Edwards has averaged 12.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 22.0 minutes per showing.

Impact After scoring a career-high 24 points in the 106-102 overtime loss to the Tempo on June 10, Edwards has combined for only 16 in her last two regular-season appearances. Despite the recent struggles, the 23-year-old is still averaging a career-best 10.3 points with 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals across 20.1 minutes in 10 regular-season games throughout the 2026 campaign.

Impact Edwards, who hails from nearby Kingston, Ontario, was apparently fired up for her first-ever WNBA game in her native Canada. She missed just one of her field-goal attempts, and she made her first three-pointer of the season. The 23-year-old is averaging 19.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game across the past two outings.

Impresses in return Edwards (concussion) finished with 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 89-80 loss to the Liberty.

Impact Edwards appeared in her first game since May 27 after putting a concussion behind her, and she looked comfortable in her return. She tied Olivia Nelson-Ododa for the team lead in scoring and accounted for three of Connecticut's eight steals on the night. It was also reassuring to see Edwards log 28 minutes Monday, which likely means she won't face any kind of minutes restriction moving forward.

Impact Edwards will return to the starting five following a three-game absence due to a concussion, and she won't operate under a minutes restriction, according to Maggie Vanoni of Hearst.

JUNE 8 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report versus Liberty Edwards (concussion) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against New York.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Edwards is in line for a third straight absence while in concussion protocol. Her next opportunity to take the floor will arrive Monday against the Liberty.

Impact Edwards is out for a second consecutive game with a concussion, and her next chance to play now comes Friday in Chicago against the Sky. Aneesah Morrow and Diamond Miller should be more involved in the frontcourt Tuesday.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Saturday Edwards (concussion) is out for Saturday's game against the Sparks.

Won't return Wednesday Edwards (nose) won't return to Wednesday's game against Portland. She finished with zero points (0-2 FT) and two rebounds across five minutes.

Impact Edwards injured her nose and lasted only five minutes against Portland. There should be an update on her condition ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Sparks. If Edwards can't suit up for that contest, Olivia Nelson-Ododa would be considered the favorite to take her spot in the starting lineup.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 points in loss Edwards finished with 10 points (5-11 FG), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 24 minutes in Friday's 77-59 loss to Seattle.

Impact Edwards missed the first three games of the 2026 campaign. She scored only six points in her first game of the season. However, since then, the 23-year-old has hit the double-digit scoring mark in each of her last three games while combining for five steals and two blocks during that span.
