  The Nets will convert Edwards to a standard NBA contract in advance of the postseason, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Edwards has been playing on a two-way deal, meaning he would not be eligible to play in the postseason. In order to keep him available for the play-in tournament, and beyond, the Nets will move him to a full NBA deal and part ways with James Johnson in order to clear a roster spot. Edwards, a rookie out of Pepperdine, has appeared in 46 games this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 threes in 20.1 minutes per contest.

• Nets' Kessler Edwards: Solid production as reserve

  04/06/2022 •

  Edwards notched five points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 118-105 victory over Houston. With Bruce Brown back in action following a one-game absence due to an illness, Edwards reverted to his usual reserve role, but the rookie actually played five more minutes Tuesday than he did during Saturday's start. The 21-year-old forward struggled offensively, but he grabbed seven rebounds -- his most since Dec. 14 -- and finished with at least one steal and one block in the same game for the seventh time this season.
