A former star at Imhotep Charter, Edwards went undrafted last summer but quickly showed his value to the Sixers. His new deal includes two guaranteed seasons.

Sixers two-way signing Dominick Barlow asked the team if he could play in Las Vegas Summer League. He got his wish, but the team struggled overall.

The Philadelphia 76ers made it official on Sunday with the re-signing of second-year forward Justin Edwards. The Sixers brought him back on a 3-year deal after he produced good numbers and overall play as an undrafted rookie.

Justin Edwards, a Philadelphia native, emerged in the 2024-25 season as a rookie while the Sixers were dealing with several significant injuries.

The Sixers started with Judah Mintz, Jalen Hood-Schifino, Justin Edwards, Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona. Edwards hit an early catch-and-shoot three-pointer. Other than that, the Spurs had complete control in the first quarter.

The Philadelphia 76ers were able to keep a young piece in tow on a 3-year deal in an effort to continue adding a strong supporting cast around Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey. Justin Edwards, an undrafted guard out of Kentucky, did a lot of great things in the 2024-25 season earning him a new deal.

Prior to signing with the 76ers, Edwards spent his lone collegiate season at Kentucky, averaging 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds in 32 games. He also led Philadelphia’s Imhotep Charter High School to consecutive Pennsylvania State titles in his junior and senior seasons from 2021-23.

The 76ers will give Justin Edwards the new deal they were expected to provide. The forward signed a standard NBA contract on Feb. 9 for the remainder of the season with a team option for the 2025-26 season.
