Overview

• Edwards’s non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 training-camp contract gives him a chance to earn the 15th roster spot, supporting Denver’s effort to manage near-tax-line cap constraints.
• Last season with the Mavericks, he averaged career-high shooting splits of 49.6 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from three-point range across 40 games.
• The 25-year-old forward, a 2021 second-round pick out of Pepperdine, has also suited up for Brooklyn and Sacramento in a four-year NBA career.
• His 6-foot-8 frame and 3-and-D skill set address Denver’s need for perimeter depth behind Nikola Jokić and Aaron Gordon.
• The move builds on Denver’s broader offseason overhaul that saw a trade for Cam Johnson alongside roster additions of Bruce Brown, Jonas Valančiūnas and Tim Hardaway Jr.
