Edwards signed a one-year contract with Turkish club Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul on Sunday.
Edwards will make the jump to Europe after he struggled to gain much traction as an NBA player since being selected early in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft. The 5-foot-11 guard proved to be one of the G League's most dynamic scorers during the 2019-20 and 2021-22 campaigns, but he averaged only 3.7 points (on 36.4 percent shooting from the field), 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 9.8 minutes over 72 appearances across the last three seasons with the Celtics and Pistons.

Pistons' Carsen Edwards: Signs two-year deal with Detroit
Rotowire
Edwards signed a two-year contract with the Pistons on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Edwards was drafted by the Celtics in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft and averaged 3.6 points across 68 appearances during his first two seasons in the league. However, he's spent the entire 2021-22 campaign at the G League level, where he averaged 26.7 points, 4.2 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 35.9 minutes per game. With Cory Joseph and Cade Cunningham dealing with back issues, it's possible the former Boilermaker cracks Detroit's rotation during the final four games of the season, though it remains unclear if the sharpshooter will be able to join his new team in time for Sunday's matchup against the Pacers.
