Former NBA forward Kessler Edwards and Hapoel Tel Aviv have parted ways, the Israeli team announced (via Twitter). Edwards, who turns 26 years old in August, signed a rest-of-season deal with Hapoel Tel Aviv in February.
A 2021 second-round pick (44th overall), Edwards spent four seasons in the NBA, last suiting up for Dallas in 2024/25. He signed a non-guaranteed training camp contract with the Nuggets last fall and spent a good portion of ’25/26 with their G League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold, prior to signing with Hapoel Tel Aviv.
In 30 games (33.6 minutes per contest) with the Gold this season, Edwards averaged 14.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks on .500/.403/.781 shooting splits. He played a fairly modest role with Hapoel Tel Aviv in the EuroLeague, making nine appearances while averaging 3.4 PPG and 2.8 RPG in 11.7 MPG.
