Philadelphia 76ers forward Justin Edwards has struggled to maintain a consistent role in the team's rotation this season. Despite appearing in 64 games, Edwards has seen his minutes vary wildly from night to night. In some games, he has played significant minutes off the bench, while in others, he has been relegated to the sidelines. Edwards' numbers this season have been a slight regression from his rookie year, but context is important, as his opportunities have been much different. In his rookie season, Edwards was thrust into a starting role for a Sixers squad desperate for bodies. He played in 42 of the last 52 games, starting in 26 of those, for 27.2 minutes per night. His rookie season ended with him averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. This season, things have been different. The Sixers have dealt with availability issues, but the desperation level has never been as high as it was in Edwards' rookie season. As a result, Edwards has seen a much smaller role, with the vast majority of his time coming off the bench. Nevertheless, Edwards has found ways to shine in spots. His best game of the season came on March 10, when he scored 18 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 3 assists in 22 minutes. Edwards' ability to adapt to different situations and make the most of his opportunities will be crucial in his quest to solidify his spot in the Sixers' rotation.
