Edwards, who came to Kentucky in 2023 as a five-star prospect and the projected No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, wound up going undrafted and made the team as an UDFA. Edwards played six minutes in his debut, racking up six points (2-3 FG) and two rebounds. Tyrese Maxey scored 17 points (5-13 FG) in the loss, which dropped the Sixers’ record to a lowly 3-13.
