76ers' Justin Edwards: Heads back to locker room
Rotowire
Edwards exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent foot injury in the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Magic, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The Sixers lost Trenton Watford to an adductor injury in the second quarter, and now they might lose Edwards, another player who's been a serviceable contributor. Edwards has been a regular starter for the Sixers of late, and this game against the Magic was his fourth straight appearance in the first unit. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Rotowire
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.

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.

76ers' Justin Edwards: Scores eight points in start
Rotowire
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.
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 the third quarter ahead of the former. Edwards averaged 15.2 minutes per game before Wednesday's contest, and he will likely revert to a reserve role against the Bucks on Thursday if George is cleared to play.

76ers' Justin Edwards: Pops for 22 points off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rotowire
Edwards is not expected to start in Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
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 took a seat for the final Summer League games due to rest purposes, but he'll be back in action during the preseason opener. He's competing for a depth role at both forward spots after emerging as a solid rotation player for the injury-depleted 76ers last season.
