The Philadelphia 76ers are finalizing a new three-year contract with forward Justin Edwards, sources confirm. This decision comes after the team declined Edwards’ $1.9 million team option for the 2025-26 season, paving the way for a fresh deal that will pay him $2 million in the first year.
Edwards’ new contract includes two guaranteed years, with the 21-year-old forward set to earn approximately $7.076 million over the three-year period.
The 76ers’ faith in Edwards is evident in their decision to lock him in long-term, especially considering he went undrafted in 2024 and quickly proved himself as a valuable rotation player. Edwards averaged 10.1 points and 26 minutes per game last season, showcasing his potential as a key contributor to the team.
With this strategic move, the 76ers are building a competitive roster and demonstrating their commitment to Edwards’ growth and development.
