Jesse Edwards will return to Syracuse for his senior year, according to his brother Kai. Edwards, a Netherlands native, emerged for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team as a starter in his junior campaign. He’ll return for a fourth year.
Edwards was a presence on both ends of the floor for Syracuse this past season. He was in the running for the ACC’s Most Improved Player award until his season ended abruptly following a left wrist fracture at Boston College on Feb. 8. The 6-foot-11 big man had surgery to repair his wrist. He’s still recovering from that injury with an uncertain timeline as it relates to a return to basketball-related activities.
