VJ Edgecombe Injury News & Updates

Edgecombe (calf) recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes in Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime loss to the Hawks.

Edgecombe made his return after sitting out Philadelphia's prior three games while managing a left calf issue, but he seemingly had some restrictions in place. The 21 minutes he received were by far his fewest of the season, as he had logged at least 32 minutes in each of his previous 15 appearances. Edgecombe should eventually return to a 30-plus-minute role once he gets fully ramped up, but the rookie No. 3 overall pick appears to have settled in as more of a supporting player for Philadelphia after he wowed fantasy managers with a 34-point performance on 31.2 percent usage in his NBA debut back on Oct. 22. Since then, Edgecombe is averaging 13.8 points, 5.7 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 36.0 minutes per contest while shooting 39.8 percent from the field and 78.1 percent from the charity stripe.

Edgecombe is averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season.

Edgecombe (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.

Edgecombe seems to be moving in the right direction toward returning to action, but Friday's game comes too soon for him. The rookie out of Baylor will miss a third straight game, and that means Quentin Grimes should continue to start at shooting guard next to Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt. Edgecombe's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Sunday.

Edgecombe (calf) practiced Wednesday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

It's an encouraging sign amid the rookie first-rounder's recovery from calf tightness. With the 76ers back in action Friday against the Nets, the team may not officially update his injury designation until Thursday. For now, Edgecombe can be tentatively considered questionable.

Edgecombe (calf) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Magic, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.comreports.

Edgecombe (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Edgecombe will miss his first game of the season due to left calf soreness. The rookie has started all 15 contests for the 76ers, averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 37.3 minutes per game. In his absence, Quentin Grimes is a likely candidate to join the starting lineup Sunday.

Edgecombe must have tweaked his calf during Thursday's win in Milwaukee, and now he's in danger of missing Sunday's game. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Sunday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, that would open up minutes for Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards and Eric Gordon.

Edgecombe accumulated 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 overtime victory over the Bucks.

The rookie out of Baylor posted an impressive line -- even if his shooting numbers were subpar -- en route to his first game with at least 20 points since late October. Edgecombe has done a good job of adjusting to opposing defenses, but he's making strides of late. He's now scored at least 14 points in three games in a row.

Edgecombe ended Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Raptors with 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 37 minutes.

Edgecombe didn't have a great shooting night but more than made up for it on the defensive end, tying his career-highs in steals and blocks. The 2025 first round pick continues his fantastic rookie campaign, averaging 15.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.0 threes.

Edgecombe notched 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pistons.

Edgecombe had been struggling mightily in his previous five outings, converting just 27.9 percent of his shot attempts, but he snapped out of the shooting funk in this one and finished as Philly's second-leading scorer. He'll look to keep it going Monday against the Clippers.

Edgecombe (back) will play in Friday's game against the Pistons.

Edgecombe was previously labeled questionable due to back spasms, but the rookie has been upgraded to available. He's yet to miss a game this season. After a hot start to the campaign, Edgecombe has cooled off significantly, as he's averaging just 8.8 points and shooting 26.5 percent from the field across his past four appearances.

Edgecombe (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

The rookie first-rounder is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to a back spasm. His status could come down to a game-time decision based on Friday's pregame warmups. If Edgecombe joins Paul George (knee) on the sidelines, Quentin Grimes could be in line for a spot start at shooting guard.

Edgecombe provided 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Pistons.

Edgecombe turned heads after scoring 34 points in his NBA debut, but he's cooled off lately as opposing defenses have begun to plan against him. The former Baylor standout is in the midst of a cold stretch where he's failed to reach the 15-point mark in four straight games. In that stretch, Edgecombe is averaging 10.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game while shooting 30 percent from the field in that four-game stretch. He'll continue to have upside as a starter in the backcourt next to Tyrese Maxey, but fantasy managers should be cautious about what he might bring to the table based on his recent struggles.

Edgecombe racked up seven points (3-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 132-121 loss to Cleveland.

Edgecombe posted season-lows in points and field goals made Wednesday, and was unable to make a three-pointer. Despite the lackluster performance, Edgecombe is still having a phenomenal rookie season, averaging 17.6 points, 5.6 rebonds, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.3 threes made, so look for him to bounce back Saturday against the Raptors.

Edgecombe struggled to find his footing from the field, but he made up for it by turning in his first career double-double. He paced the Sixers in rebounds, beating his previous season high of seven rebounds Oct. 22 against Boston. Edgecombe's scoring production has cooled off a bit over his last few appearances, but he's still finding ways to make an impact.

Edgecombe finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 129-105 win over Brooklyn.

Edgecombe turned in another solid night in the scoring column, sinking 50.0 percent of his tries from the field while drilling two triples for a second straight appearance. He also bounced back on the defensive end, leading Philly in steals after failing to record a steal in his previous matchup Friday against Boston. Edgecombe will look to continue this hot start to his rookie campaign Tuesday in Chicago.

Edgecombe has had a blistering start to his NBA career thus far, averaging 25.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks on 50/40/75 shooting splits. Philadelphia has also gone 3-0 to start the season, which can largely be attributed to the rookie's success. Look for Edgecombe to uphold his high level of play Tuesday against the Wizards.

Edgecombe supplied 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets.

Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe continued his impressive start to the season by contributing across the board in Saturday's win. He finished second behind Tyrese Maxey (9) with eight assists while leading Sixers with three steals. Edgecombe looks locked in as Philadelphia's starting shooting guard, and he'll get another opportunity to dazzle against the Magic on Monday night.

Edgecombe popped off for 34 points (13-26 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, five triples, one steal and two turnovers in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 season-opening win over Boston.

Wow, what a debut. Edgecombe's 34 points accounted for the third-most ever scored by a rookie in his NBA debut, and he joined the great Allen Iverson as the only rookies in 76ers' history to record 30 points in their first NBA game. This also came against a capable defensive team in a tight game, so Edgecombe is clearly going to be a pivotal part of Philly's offense this season. Congrats if you snagged him towards the later rounds on draft day.

Edgecombe racked up 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, five steals and one turnover in 34 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Timberwolves.

It's worth noting that this stat line came against the Timberwolves B Team, with Minnesota resting most of their key guys, but Edgecombe was impressive nonetheless. He did an excellent job of disrupting passing lanes and he showed a lot of hustle on offense, but most importantly, the rookie looked ready. He should see meaningful minutes right away for Philadelphia.

Edgecombe made a nice impression in his first NBA game action, also leading the team in minutes Thursday. With Jared McCain (thumb) likely to miss the onset of the regular season, Philadelphia will likely want to take a long look at Edgecombe during the preseason as an option for an expanded role. The rookie first-rounder should offer the 76ers disruptive defense no matter what his role is, as he averaged 2.1 steals per game over 33 contests for Baylor in 2024-25.

Edgecombe will start Thursday's preseason opener against the Knicks.

The 76ers do have some injuries, but they won't be wasting any time here. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Edgecombe will immediately jump into the starting lineup following a standout Summer League and a great start to training camp.

Edgecombe missed back-to-back Summer League contests in Salt Lake City after suffering what was initially deemed a left thumb contusion. Further testing revealed he's dealing with a sprain. Edgecombe excelled in his lone appearance in Salt Lake City, logging 28 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal, so don't be surprised if the 76ers play it safe with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Edgecombe is set to be the featured player for the 76ers for the duration of the Summer League, unless the team pulls him early. His role during the regular season will likely be much different, however, as usage will be hard to come by alongside the likes of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George.

Edgecombe was selected by the 76ers with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Edgecombe joins a 76ers team that began the 2024-25 season with playoff aspirations but ended up with the No. 3 pick after an injury-riddled campaign. The Baylor product impressed in his lone year in Waco, averaging 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals while shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 34.0 percent from three-point range in 33 games. Widely considered one of the most athletic prospects in the draft, the 19-year-old has the physical tools to transition well to the NBA. He'll be surrounded by a strong core featuring Joel Embiid (knee), Tyrese Maxey (finger), Paul George (thigh) and Jared McCain (knee), all of whom missed time last season and will look to lead a bounceback effort in 2025-26.
