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.

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.
