Edwards racked up 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 loss to Oklahoma City. Edwards posted a team- and career-high 25 points off the bench, albeit in a losing effort. The 21-year-old saw extended run with most of the the Philadelphia rotation sidelined, including Joel Embiid (foot), Paul George (ankle), Tyrese Maxey (hand), Caleb Martin (groin) and KJ Martin (foot). Edwards is not likely to see extended playing time on a consistent basis, as most of the 76ers' rotation is considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Edwards racked up 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 loss to Oklahoma City. Edwards posted a team- and career-high 25 points off the bench, albeit in a losing effort. The 21-year-old saw extended run with most of the the Philadelphia rotation sidelined, including Joel Embiid (foot), Paul George (ankle), Tyrese Maxey (hand), Caleb Martin (groin) and KJ Martin (foot). Edwards is not likely to see extended playing time on a consistent basis, as most of the 76ers' rotation is considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Edwards (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Despite dealing with a left ankle sprain, Edwards has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday. With Paul George (ankle) and Caleb Martin (groin) out, Edwards could be in store for increased playing time.
Edwards is probable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder with a left ankle sprain. This is a new injury for Edwards, but the probable tag suggests that it's a very mild sprain. Edwards has seen 14.5 minutes per game in January with 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers across six outings.
Edwards dropped 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds and an assist during 23 minutes of action in the 123-94 win over the Nets on Saturday. With his team leading by double-digits for the majority of the game and first-year phenom Jared McCain (knee) sidelined for the foreseeable future, Edwards was afforded the biggest opportunity of his young career thus far, having previously played nine minutes at the most. He outplayed veterans Eric Gordon and Reggie Jackson in the contest, dropping career-highs in points, rebounds and assists along the way, but Paul George and Caleb Martin remained ahead of him on the depth chart. Edwards will look to build on his performance Monday against the Suns.
