It very well may have been the best all-around game of his career with the Boston Celtics, with second-year reserve guard Carsen Edwards scoring 16 points, 4 boards and 2 assists on 5-of-8 shooting.
The Purdue product sunk 3 of his 5 3-point attempts against the Los Angeles Clippers as well in Friday evening’s 119 – 115 road win for the Celtics, with Edwards icing all 3 of his free throw attempts as well. The Texan guard played 30 minutes to help fill in for both veteran guard Marcus Smart (calf) and forward Jaylen Brown (knee), both sitting for the contest to get back to full health.

“He’s had a really good couple of months,” shared Celtics head coach Brad Steven after the game, noting how the former Boilermaker has managed to stay prepared for opportunities like Friday’s despite a lack of regular playing time.
