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.
