Purdue Great Carsen Edwards Lands With New EuroLeague Team

Carsen Edwards has signed with Virtus Bologna in Italy for the upcoming season, departing from FC Bayern Munich after the 2024-25 campaign. This move was reported by BasketNews.com.

During his standout season with Bayern Munich, Edwards led the league in scoring, averaging 20.4 points per game, alongside 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds. He demonstrated efficient shooting, making 54% of his field goal attempts and 36% from three-point range, and scored 30 or more points in five games.

Edwards played in 35 games for Bayern Munich during the 2024-25 season but missed the easyCredit BBL playoffs due to a back injury. His performance earned him a spot on the first-team All-EuroLeague at the season's end.

Following Edwards' departure, Bayern Munich sporting director Dragan Tarlac issued a statement acknowledging his significant contribution to the team's successful season. Tarlac stated that Edwards and Nick Weiler-Babb "played a major role" and "will always hold a special place in our club," wishing them success in the future.

Edwards, a former Purdue Boilermaker star from 2016-19 where he averaged 17.8 points per game, earned All-American honors and won the Jerry West Award in 2019 after averaging 24.8 points as a junior. Since leaving Purdue, his career has included stints in the NBA, the G-League, and the EuroLeague. Adidas recently released a documentary about him titled "Carsen Edwards — A Family Thing".
