Edwards, who credits the Delaware Blue Coats for his recent success, couldn't be more appreciative of the opportunity "to put on for my family and friends and my hometown.”

Multiple members of the Philadelphia 76ers give their thoughts on the play of undrafted rookie Justin Edwards.

Not expected to be part of the rotation entering the season, Justin Edwards scored a career-high 25 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Tyrese Maxey returns, but the Philadelphia 76ers fall to the New York Knicks at home as the long streak continues.

Despite most — this beat writer included — assuming that the Sixers would have their doors blown off by the NBA's best team defense and individual scorer, the nine players donning red, white and blue played with absolutely no expectation that they were going to be on the wrong end of a blowout.

Edwards (left ankle sprain) and Maxey were both added in the afternoon after participating in shootaround. Edwards, the Imhotep Charter product, was good to go. George, who has dealt with issues in his left knee and tightness in his left groin before adding the ankle to his bingo card, was listed as probable. Martin had been questionable.
