Justin Edwards Competes for Rotation Minutes With Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers forward Justin Edwards is entering the 2026-27 season competing for end-of-rotation minutes under head coach Nick Nurse. The undrafted Kentucky product shot 37% from three-point range last season but saw his rebounding drop to 1.5 per game. To solidify his role, the Philadelphia native must improve his interior defense and rebounding to complement his perimeter defense, off-ball cutting, and transition finishing.
