Dallas, Texas – Mavericks player Edwards played a crucial role in the team’s 111-107 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, recording a notable all-around performance. The 24-year-old contributed four points, six rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and two steals in 33 minutes of play.
Edwards is stepping up significantly in the Mavericks’ injury-depleted frontcourt. While not known for his scoring, he has made a substantial impact defensively. Over the last two games, Edwards has demonstrated his ability to contribute with multiple steals and blocks, reinforcing his value during a challenging stretch for the team.
“I just try to do what the team needs me to do,” Edwards said after the game. “If that means focusing on defense and making plays, I’m all in for that.” His six assists against the Warriors marked a new career high, showcasing his evolving role on the team.
The Mavericks are navigating a tough situation with key players sidelined. P.J. Washington is expected to miss time due to an ankle injury, and Anthony Davis‘s recovery from a thigh issue may stretch into March. Edwards’s recent performance signals that he could hold short-term value for those in daily fantasy sports, making him an attractive budget option.
“With the injuries we have, it’s really important for guys to step up,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd commented. “Edwards has been doing just that, and we need him to continue to shine.”
