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.

Efficient scoring in loss Edwards finished with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one block over 17 minutes in Monday's 83-82 loss to the Fire.

Impact Edwards was one of four Sun players to score in double figures, though she was the most efficient of the group with just one miss from the field. After missing the first three games of the regular season due to a left thigh injury, the 23-year-old has started each of the past two contests but has remained under a minutes restriction, playing exactly 17 minutes in both appearances. Positioned as one of the top forward options on the roster, Edwards' production should increase as she's eased off the restriction moving forward.

Struggles in loss to Aces Edwards (thigh) finished with six points (3-5 FG), three rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes in Friday's 101-94 loss to the Aces.

Impact Edwards didn't suit up for Connecticut's first three games of the 2026 campaign because of a thigh injury. As a result, she was on a minutes restriction Friday night. The 23-year-old, who was dealt to Connecticut ahead of the trade deadline last season, averaged 5.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks over 14.8 minutes in 36 games combined for the Mystics and Sun in 2025. While her start to the 2026 campaign hasn't been ideal, she could receive more opportunities to produce (and start) moving ahead.

MAY 15 • ROTOWIRE
