Edwards went down with the injury during the team’s tune-up game against Meralco on Tuesday.
Dyip governor Bobby Rosales announced the deflating news during the Season 49 presser on Wednesday at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel.
"AS for Terrafirma, I would like to inform you already ahead of everybody, unfortunately, our import suffered an ACL. So we have no choice but to replace him," said Rosales.
The former Board vice chairman said the Dyip are now in the process of finding a quick replacement pending the team's first outing of the season against Converge FiberXers on August 21 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Edwards, 32, is coming off a championship stint with Trepca which just won the Kosovo Superleague.
