Will start Sunday

Updating a previous report, Edwards will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Bucks. Guerschon Yabusele was originally slated to start in his return to game action, though the Sixers have decided to keep Edwards in the starting five on Sunday. The 21-year-old has started in seven consecutive contests, averaging 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.
Reverts back to bench Sunday

Edwards will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bucks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. With Guerschon Yabusele (knee) returning to game action Sunday, Edwards will slide to the bench. The 21-year-old had started in seven consecutive contests, during which he averaged 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.
Inks standard deal

The 76ers converted Edwards' two-way contract to a standard deal for the remainder of the 2024-25 season Saturday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Edwards will take up one of the roster spots vacated when the 76ers traded away Caleb Martin (hip) and KJ Martin. Edwards has split time between the NBA and G League this season as a two-way player but will get to spend the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign with the 76ers. The rookie forward has also started in Philadelphia's last seven outings, averaging 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.4 minutes.
Posts 12 points with full stat line

Edwards produced 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 44 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to Boston. It was serviceable effort by Edwards, who turned in an efficient 12 points with a full stat line while taking on a heavy workload. Over his past five games (four starts), the undrafted rookie has averaged 8.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes. Edwards should remain fantasy relevant as a short-term streamer for swipes and treys until Paul George (finger) is ready to get back on the court for the 76ers, but the former has a two-way contract that puts him at risk of being sent back to the G League once Philadelphia gets healthier.
Starting sans George

Edwards will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Lakers. With Paul George (finger) on the shelf, Edwards will receive the starting nod. The two-way forward has appeared in eight consecutive contests off the bench for Philadelphia, during which he has averaged 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.
Leads team in swipes Saturday

Edwards finished with three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three steals and two rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 109-97 victory over Chicago. Edwards posted a game-high mark in steals, though he struggled to find his rhythm shooting the rock. The 21-year-old has played at least 20 minutes in eight consecutive contests with Joel Embiid (knee), Caleb Martin (hip) and KJ Martin (hip) on the shelf, and in that eight-game span, he has averaged 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.0 minutes per contest.
Leads Philadelphia in loss

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.
Officially good to go

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.
Probable for Tuesday

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.
