Mallory Edens is no stranger to the spotlight, and she's proving it once again. Just hours before the NBA Draft Lottery tips off on Sunday, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens set the internet ablaze with a jaw-dropping swimsuit photo on Instagram. The image, captioned "In malibu, another lap around the sun," shows Edens soaking up the California sun in a sleek swimsuit, and fans are absolutely loving it.
Edens, a Princeton graduate, first captured the nation's attention back in 2014 when she represented the Bucks at the Draft Lottery and helped them land the No. 2 overall pick. That appearance went viral, and she's been a social media sensation ever since. Now, she's back to work her magic for the 2026 lottery, and her latest post has only added to the hype.
Beyond her social media presence, Edens has carved out a career in Hollywood as a film producer, working on several major movies. But she hasn't ruled out a future in basketball ownership—she's openly said her dream is to own the New York Knicks one day. Until then, she's content to turn heads online and support her father's team.
NBA fans wasted no time reacting to her swimsuit snap. Comments poured in with praise like "My star !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" and "Wow!" One fan simply wrote "Beautiful 😍," while another exclaimed, "Are you kidding me 😭." The post quickly trended, proving Edens still knows how to command attention.
This isn't her first time making waves on social media. Edens has a history of turning heads in dazzling outfits, and her swimsuit photos are no exception. The buzz around her latest post echoes the excitement surrounding other sports figures, like Cameron Brink's jungle swimsuit snaps that sparked a similar online frenzy.
As the NBA Draft Lottery approaches, all eyes are on the Wizards, who hold the best odds for the No. 1 pick. But with Edens in the mix, the Bucks might just get a lucky boost again. The lottery airs live at 3 p.m. E.T. on ABC, leading into second-round playoff action.
Will Edens help the Bucks strike gold again? Fans will be watching—and scrolling—to find out.
