The 19-year-old poured in a game-high 28 points on 13 of 27 shooting, hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out four assists, made two blocks and had just two turnovers. While Edgecombe struggled from beyond the arc (1 of 7) and from the charity stripe (1 of 3), it won't take away from the fact that his Summer League debut was a resounding success.

The Sixers drafted VJ Edgecombe third overall, and after exciting everyone in the NBA Summer League, he's set his sights on a far loftier goal.

He's expected to be part of what should be a talented backcourt, with Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain and Quentin Grimes—assuming he eventually re-signs with the team—also expected to have major roles in the 2025-26 campaign. Veterans Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon could see minutes as well.

Edgecombe (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's Summer League game against the Nets, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
