76ers’ Edgecombe Sidelined With Thumb Sprain

News summary

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe, the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, has been diagnosed with a left thumb sprain and will miss at least Thursday's Summer League game against the San Antonio Spurs, with a reevaluation set for Saturday. Edgecombe had previously missed games due to a suspected thumb contusion, but further testing confirmed a sprain. His injury is a setback for the Sixers' Summer League team, which has struggled outside of Judah Mintz and seen disappointing performances from other prospects. Despite the injury, Edgecombe has remained active in on-court workouts and is under close supervision by the team's medical staff. In his Summer League debut, Edgecombe stood out with 28 points and 10 rebounds, outperforming fellow top-five pick Ace Bailey, who struggled in the same game. The Sixers are expected to be cautious with Edgecombe's return while looking ahead to his impact during the regular season.
