Justin Edwards has officially signed a new three-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, securing two guaranteed years after initially signing a two-way deal in July. The new contract, confirmed on Friday, will see Edwards earn $2 million in the 2025-26 season, an increase from the $1.9 million he would have received under his previous team option.

Edwards, a 6-foot-6 forward from Philadelphia, showcased his potential during his rookie season, averaging 10.1 points and 3.4 rebounds in 40 games. Notably, he scored a career-high 25 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder, demonstrating his capability to perform under pressure, a trait that could benefit fantasy teams as he becomes a more integral part of the Sixers' rotation.
