VJ Edgecombe will return to NBA Summer League action for the Philadelphia 76ers after the No. 3 overall draft pick missed four games due to a thumb sprain.

The Wizards were led by 2024 first-round pick AJ Johnson, who supplied 20 points and five rebounds. Rookie second-rounder Jamir Watkins was the only other member of the Wizards to score in double digits, tallying 10 points, five rebounds, a game-high eight steals and three blocks.

No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe recovered from a slow start on Tuesday, leading the 76ers to a win in his first summer league game in Las Vegas.

Edgecombe finished with 15 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block over 30 minutes in Tuesday's 74-58 Summer League win over the Wizards.

The Philadelphia 76ers provide an encouraging update on rookie VJ Edgecombe ahead of their matchup with the Washington Wizards.

Ace Bailey overvalued himself and skipped meetings, prompting the 76ers to choose VJ Edgecombe, a better fit for the team. The rookie is impressing early.

Good to go Tuesday
