Nuggets' Kessler Edwards: Latches on with Denver
Edwards has agreed to sign a contract with the Nuggets, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Edwards spent the 2024-25 season on a two-way deal with the Mavericks, and he's now lined up to provide frontcourt depth for the Nuggets in 2025-26. The veteran sharpshooter averaged 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.2 minutes per game while shooting 40.7 percent from downtown over 40 regular-season outings a year ago. Edwards will be competing with Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Peyton Watson for minutes in Denver.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Poor numbers in spot start
Edwards was charged with a foul and logged four rebounds while recording no other statistics over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks.
After being inactive for the Mavericks' previous two contests, Edwards returned to action Tuesday and moved into the starting five. At the same time, Anthony Davis (adductor) rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Edwards offered limited production during his time on the court, and he's likely made his last appearance of the season for Dallas. He's been active for 50 games at the NBA level this season, the maximum amount allotted to players on two-way contracts. Due to their salary-cap situation, the Mavericks are unable to sign Edwards or one of their other two-way players (Brandon Williams and Kai Jones) to a standard NBA contract until April 10, when the team will only have two games left in the regular season. Edwards will likely continue to play with the G League's Texas Legends in the meantime. Still, if his time with Dallas is over, he'll finish the season with averages of 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 15.2 minutes per contest over 40 appearances.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Starting sans Davis
Edwards will start in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The two-way forward will receive the starting nod due to Anthony Davis (thigh) being sidelined. Edwards has been inactive for the club's last two outings, as he is one matchup away from reaching the maximum number of games allotted to two-way players. After Tuesday's game, the 24-year-old is expected to rejoin the club's G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, for the remainder of its season. However, the Mavericks could sign Edwards to a standard contract starting April 10, so there remains a possibility that he could suit up for the parent club again this year.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Expected to play Tuesday
The Mavericks are expected to make Edwards active for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Since signing a two-way deal with Dallas in August, Edwards has been active for 49 games at the NBA level, one less than the maximum amount allotted to two-way players. Because he's approaching the 50-game limit, the Mavericks opted to make Edwards inactive for their last two contests, but with Anthony Davis (adductor) in line to rest against the Knicks after returning from a lengthy absence in Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets, Edwards will likely be tasked with filling minutes in the frontcourt Tuesday. Due to their salary-cap situation, the Mavericks aren't able to sign any player to the 15-man roster until April 10, when the team would have just two games left in the regular season. Even if Edwards isn't upgraded off his two-way deal until after that date, he would still be able to play in G League games with the Texas Legends in the meantime.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Remaining inactive Monday
Edwards (coach's decision) won't play in Monday's game against the Nets, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Edwards has only one game of eligibility remaining on his two-way contract and will be inactive for a second consecutive contest. Anthony Davis (adductor) will return to the club's frontcourt Monday, though he isn't likely to play in the second half of the club's back-to-back set against the Knicks on Tuesday. As a result, Edwards could return to action Tuesday in what would be his final appearance of the season, unless Dallas converts him to a standard NBA deal when the team is first able to do so April 10.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Will be inactive Friday
Head coach Jason Kidd said that Edwards (coach's decision) won't play in Friday's game against the Pistons, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Edwards has just one game of eligibility remaining on his two-way contract, though Kidd relayed that the forward will travel with the team for its upcoming four-game road trip. The Mavericks will likely still be without Anthony Davis (thigh), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (knee) during that road trip, meaning the club could rely heavily on Kai Jones and Dwight Powell at center.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Swats away career-high four shots
Edwards tallied 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 35 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 133-96 loss to the Rockets.
The Mavericks were shorthanded in the frontcourt once again Friday, allowing Edwards to pick up his fifth consecutive start at center. He's produced well during that five-game stretch with averages of 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest, but Edwards' run of fantasy value will soon come to an end. A two-way player, Edwards has been active for 47 of the Mavericks' games this season, so he'll be able to suit up for just three of the team's remaining 14 contests. The imminent returns of P.J. Washington (ankle) and Kai Jones (quadricep) may also result in Edwards losing out on playing time over his final three appearances of the season.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Double-doubles in victory
Edwards finished with 22 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 133-129 win over San Antonio.
The two-way forward drew his third consecutive start due to P.J. Washington (ankle) being sidelined. Edwards posted a career high in points Monday, as well as a game- and career-best mark in rebounds. He logged his second career double-double in the win, with his first double-double dating back to his rookie year with Brooklyn on Dec. 14, 2021. The big man has played at least 22 minutes in each of his last five appearances, and he will likely continue to see significant playing time due to a litany of injuries in the Dallas frontcourt.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Posts 13 points in starting role
Edwards ended Friday's 122-111 loss to the Grizzlies with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 29 minutes.
Kessler moved back to the top unit Friday, serving as an undersized center while the Mavericks continue to be decimated by injures in the frontcourt. Dallas could eventually get some reinforcements with P.J. Washington (ankle) and Kai Jones (quadricep) seemingly viewed as day-to-day, but Edwards could be in store for a regular 20-plus-minute role until either or both players return. Edwards is on a two-way deal and has been active for 43 games this season, so he will be eligible to suit up for just seven contests for the remainder of the campaign.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Back in starting lineup Friday
Edwards is in Dallas' starting lineup against Memphis on Friday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Edwards came off the bench in Wednesday's 137-107 loss to the Bucks, but he has been inserted back into the starting lineup for Friday's contest. The 2021 second-round pick has averaged 4.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 15.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Not in starting lineup Wednesday
Edwards is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Edwards drew the start in Monday's 122-98 loss to the Kings, notching six points, four rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes. A two-way player, Edwards is eligible to be active in just nine more games for the rest of the season, but despite moving to the bench, he'll likely suit up Wednesday since the injury-plagued Mavericks have just eight total players available.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Running with starters
Edwards is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Edwards will make his return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his last appearance Thursday and failing to check in during Saturday's matchup. He should be more involved Monday considering P.J. Washington has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Returning to bench role
Edwards isn't starting Thursday's game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Edwards has started his team's last six games, but he'll revert to a bench role Thursday. This opens the door for Moses Brown to draw a start at center, though Edwards should still factor into the mix in the frontcourt.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Grabs eight boards vs. Warriors
Edwards closed Sunday's 126-102 loss to Golden State with six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 14 minutes.
Edwards played only 14 minutes in Sunday's blowout loss, but he managed to grab eight boards which tied Moses Brown for most on the Mavericks. Edwards has started at center in five straight games due to the absence of Anthony Davis (abdomen), and the former should remain in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Lakers.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Season-best effort Thursday
Edwards amassed 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 win over Miami.
Making his third straight start for the shorthanded Mavs, Edwards set season highs in points and rebounds while handling a massive workload. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 8.3 points, 5.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes over those three contests, and with both Anthony Davis (thigh) and Daniel Gafford (knee) both facing extended absences, there could still be a role for Edwards on the other side of the All-Star break.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Taking advantage of opportunity
Edwards recorded four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 111-107 victory over Golden State.
The 24-year-old is shouldering a significant workload in the Mavericks' injury-ravaged frontcourt, and while he doesn't offer much offense, Edwards is making an impact with his defense. He's contributed multiple steals and blocks in back-to-back starts while averaging 29.5 minutes a contest, and Wednesday's six assists were also a career high. P.J. Washington (ankle) won't be back until after the All-Star break while Anthony Davis (thigh) figures to be sidelined into March, so Edwards could continue to have some short-term value as a bargain DFS option.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Blocks two shots
Edwards had six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime loss to Sacramento.
With Anthony Davis (adductor) and P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined, Edwards drew the start at forward Monday. He had a strong showing on the defensive end, but Edwards is typically a low-usage player who doesn't make a ton of noise in the box score. Over his last five games, he's averaging 3.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals in 17.0 minutes.
