Justin Edwards experienced a breakout rookie campaign in the second half of the 2024-25 season with the Philadelphia 76ers. His role has shrunk in 2025-26 with more healthy teammates around him, but he finally popped off on Tuesday night in Philly’s 102-100 win over the Boston Celtics.
Edwards posted a season-high 22 points on 8-9 shooting (5-6 3PT) to go along with three rebounds and three assists. His three-pointer with under five minutes to go put the 76ers ahead 93-92. 13 of his points came in the fourth quarter.
He made sure to celebrate, too, but he may or may not have said something on the floor that his mom did not approve of.
