He also contributed 3.3 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Edwards was 14th in the league with an average PIR of 16.7 and led all players with 2.9 three-pointers made per game.
After a standout college basketball career at Purdue University, Edwards began his professional career in the NBA with the Boston Celtics.

Edwards led the G League in scoring with the Stars in 2021-22 with 26.7 points per game.
He made his EuroLeague debut with Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul the following season before joining Bayen in 2023. In his first season with Bayern, Edwards led the team to the 2024 German League and Cup double and was named MVP of the playoff finals.
