The Nuggets waived Edwards on Saturday, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports. Edwards spent the 2024-25 season on a two-way deal with the Mavericks, but he was unable to make Denver's loaded roster. Edwards is now free to explore his options elsewhere, though he may end up with Denver's G League affiliate.

Kessler Edwards: Breaking News
Latches on with Denver
Edwards has agreed to sign a contract with the Nuggets, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Edwards spent the 2024-25 season on a two-way deal with the Mavericks, and he's now lined up to provide frontcourt depth for the Nuggets in 2025-26. The veteran sharpshooter averaged 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.2 minutes per game while shooting 40.7 percent from downtown over 40 regular-season outings a year ago. Edwards will be competing with Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Peyton Watson for minutes in Denver.
Poor numbers in spot start
Edwards was charged with a foul and logged four rebounds while recording no other statistics over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks. After being inactive for the Mavericks' previous two contests, Edwards returned to action Tuesday and moved into the starting five. At the same time, Anthony Davis (adductor) rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Edwards offered limited production during his time on the court, and he's likely made his last appearance of the season for Dallas. He's been active for 50 games at the NBA level this season, the maximum amount allotted to players on two-way contracts. Due to their salary-cap situation, the Mavericks are unable to sign Edwards or one of their other two-way players (Brandon Williams and Kai Jones) to a standard NBA contract until April 10, when the team will only have two games left in the regular season. Edwards will likely continue to play with the G League's Texas Legends in the meantime. Still, if his time with Dallas is over, he'll finish the season with averages of 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 15.2 minutes per contest over 40 appearances.
