Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Mavericks in August of 2024. 
Poor numbers in spot start
Edwards was charged with a foul and logged four rebounds while recording no other statistics over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
After being inactive for the Mavericks' previous two contests, Edwards returned to action Tuesday and moved into the starting five while Anthony Davis (adductor) rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Edwards offered limited production during his time on the court in what may have been his last appearance of the season for Dallas. He's been active for 50 games at the NBA level this season, the maximum amount allotted to players on two-way contracts. Due to their salary-cap situation, the Mavericks are unable to sign Edwards or one of their other two-way players (Brandon Williams and Kai Jones) to a standard NBA contract until April 10, when the team will only have two games left in the regular season. Edwards will likely continue to play with the G League's Texas Legends in the meantime. If his time with Dallas is over, he'll finish the season with averages of 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 15.2 minutes per contest over 40 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
While it can be said that Edwards made the most of his opportunities during his rookie season, his role in 2022-23 could be that of a situation-based rotation piece. The Nets come into the season with a relatively clean bill of health, meaning Edwards shifts down the pecking order quite substantially. Training camp and preseason may offer us some insight as to whether he will be an every night part of the rotation, but until then, he can be ignored basically everywhere.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Barely involved
Edwards logged a season-high 12 minutes in Brooklyn's 30-point loss to Sacramento on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Even with Brooklyn spiraling and allowing 111.7 points per game -- third-worst in the league -- Edwards' number isn't being called. Tuesday marked his first contest exceeding five minutes played this season. The 22-year-old averaged 5.9 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc last season, but it appears he hasn't earned any trust for a role thus far.
