Sixers Rookie VJ Edgecombe Debuts in Vegas Summer League

VJ Edgecombe, the No. 3 overall pick for the Philadelphia 76ers, made a strong Summer League debut in Las Vegas after missing the first two games due to a thumb sprain. He scored all 15 of his points in the second half, contributing six rebounds, four assists, and three steals to lead the Sixers to a 74-58 victory over the Washington Wizards. Edgecombe had previously impressed in the Salt Lake City Summer League with 28 points and 10 rebounds but was sidelined with injury until his return. Philadelphia's summer league coach TJ DiLeo highlighted the importance of Edgecombe's return as the team looks to develop its young talent. Other teams like the OKC Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Toronto Raptors maintained undefeated records in the Summer League, while the Philadelphia 76ers improved to 1-2 with Edgecombe's help. The Sixers continue to rely on Edgecombe as a key player in their Summer League efforts.
