SPORT24 reported on June 3, 2025, that Crvena Zvezda, led by coach Giannis Sfairopoulos, have expressed interest in signing American guard Carsen Edwards, who may leave FC Bayern München despite a contract option for the upcoming season. The 27-year-old, 1.80m guard has also drawn attention from other teams, making Crvena Zvezda’s pursuit competitive, as Bayern prepares for their BBL semifinal series, per earlier EasyCredit-BBL.de updates.
Edwards’ Stellar Season
Edwards averaged 20.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 28:49 minutes across 35 EuroLeague games last season, starting 31 as a point guard, per Euroleaguebasketball.net stats. Named to the EuroLeague’s best five, he showcased his scoring prowess after a BBL Finals MVP performance in 2024, per Eurohoops.net. His experience with the Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, and Fenerbahce, as noted in his Wikipedia profile, adds to his appeal for Crvena Zvezda’s EuroLeague ambitions.
Transfer Competition
While Crvena Zvezda aim to bolster their backcourt, Edwards’ potential move comes amidst a busy transfer market, with teams like Dubai BC signing players like McKinley Wright IV, per Buzz Sport sources. Edwards, who missed Bayern’s recent semifinal loss due to injury, per EasyCredit-BBL.de, could be a game-changer for Crvena Zvezda as they target a deep EuroLeague run in the expanded 20-team format next season, per BasketNews.
