Coming off bench Friday Edwards is not in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Nets on Friday.

Impact Edwards will revert to a bench role Friday after Paul George (ankle) was cleared to return. Edwards started in each of the 76ers' last four games, and over that span he averaged 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals over 27.0 minutes per game.

Returns Tuesday Edwards returned to Tuesday's game against the Magic with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.

Impact Edwards sustained an apparent foot injury earlier in the quarter, though he returned to the court shortly thereafter. He'll likely be good to go for the remainder of the game after checking back in.

Heads back to locker room Edwards headed to the locker room due to an apparent foot injury in Tuesday's game against the Magic, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The Sixers lost Trenton Watford to an adductor injury, and now they might lose Edwards, another player who's been a serviceable contributor off the bench. Edwards had been a regular starter for the Sixers in recent days, and this game against the Magic was his fourth straight appearance in the first unit.

Plays season-high 32 minutes Edwards posted seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 loss to the Heat.

Impact Edwards made his third straight start due to the absence of Kelly Oubre (knee) and filled the stat sheet, providing two steals and two blocks in his 32 minutes. Edwards' minutes and usage have been trending upwards since being elevated to the starting lineup, and with Oubre out for a couple more weeks, the former may see himself in the starting lineup for the time being.

Scores eight points in start Edwards logged eight points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during the 76ers' 121-112 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.

Impact Edwards was inserted into the 76ers' starting lineup Wednesday for the second time this season due to the absences of Paul George (knee) and Kelly Oubre (knee). Edwards did all of his scoring in the first half, though his playing time dipped in the second half as Quentin Grimes started in the third quarter ahead of the former. Edwards averaged 15.2 minutes per game prior to Wednesday's contest, and he will likely revert to a reserve role against the Bucks on Thursday if George is cleared to play.

Starting Wednesday Edwards is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Pops for 22 points off bench Edwards amassed 22 points (8-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 102-100 win over the Celtics.

Impact Edwards turned in his best scoring performance of the 2025-26 campaign, as he nearly turned in a perfect shooting line. This marks the 21-year-old's first time finishing in double figures through eight appearances this season, ending a recent skid in which he'd been held to three or fewer points in four of his previous five games. Edwards has struggled to see consistent minutes off the bench, so his larger workload Tuesday could be a sign that he's close to carving out a more significant role.

Scores eight in loss Edwards ended Wednesday's 132-121 loss to the Cavaliers with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes.

Impact Edwards hasn't been much of a factor in Philadelphia's rotation despite receiving a spot start Oct. 28 against the Wizards, but will continue to back up Kelly Oubre and likely see the court in the 12-17 minutes range. He is averaging 4.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.2 threes made.

Unlikely to start vs. Minnesota Edwards is not expected to start in Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact The Sixers are undecided on who will occupy the role of fifth starter against the Timberwolves in their final pre-season tune-up, although Quentin Grimes seems to have the inside track for that nod over Edwards. Edwards should still see decent minutes off the bench, though, as he'd been starting in previous pre-season contests.
