Justin Edwards

Edwards tallied 22 points (8-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench during Tuesday’s 102-100 win over the Celtics. The rookie delivered clutch shooting late, hitting a pair of key three-pointers in the final minutes to help erase an eight-point deficit.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards saw a season-high 26 minutes with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined and Jared McCain limited by thumb and knee issues. His hot shooting helped secure the win, but his role may shrink once Philadelphia’s regular rotation pieces return.

Justin Edwards will make his first start of the season in Tuesday’s game against the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards will replace Jabari Walker in the starting lineup after Walker started Monday’s game against the Orlando Magic. Through two games this season, Edwards is averaging 4.5 points in 6.5 minutes. His playing time remains uncertain, making him a risky option in daily fantasy formats despite drawing the start.

Justin Edwards (ribs) is available and set to make his season debut Saturday against the Hornets, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Edwards missed the opener while dealing with a rib issue.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards' return marks his first game action of the season. How he fits into the rotation is still unclear, and his presence could potentially affect Quentin Grimes' playing time in the second unit.

The 76ers signed Justin Edwards to a new three-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

Philadelphia declined Edwards team option to give him the new deal after he came onto the scene with the 76ers rotation banged up at the end of last season. He should enter next year in a reserve role.

Justin Edwards has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards will remain sidelined to close the season. Lonnie Walker should continue to start in his place.
