  12H ago • By RotoWire

  Edgecombe totaled 26 points (9-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 39 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to Atlanta. With Tyrese Maxey (illness) missing his second straight game, Edgecombe finished as the 76ers' second-leading scorer, and he's seen his usage rate rise to 19.9 over the past two. Edgecombe will look to keep it going Friday in New York, but he may see a dip in usage if Maxey returns to action.

  Edgecombe amassed 22 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 115-105 win over Indiana. Edgecombe contributed in multiple categories in Friday's win and notched his first 20-point game since Nov. 19 against Toronto. The rookie first-rounder took advantage of star guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) being out of the lineup and got to the free-throw line a season-high 10 times while recording two steals in a game for the ninth time this season. The 20-year-old guard has scored in double figures in eight of the past 10 games, averaging 14.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals across 31.9 minutes over that stretch.

• 76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Tips in game-winning shot

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Edgecombe finished Thursday's 99-98 win over the Warriors with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 24 minutes. Edgecombe didn't need to do much with Tyrese Maxey cruising to a 35-point game, but he was efficient with his opportunities on the offensive end and helped secure a victory by tipping in a shot at the rim with a few seconds remaining. The Sixers have been careful with the rookie guard since his return from a left calf injury, as he's been held to 24 minutes or fewer in three straight games. Edgecombe's ceiling may be a bit limited until he ramps back up to a full workload, but he's found ways to contribute across the board even while on a restriction.

• 76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Questionable for Sunday

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Edgecombe (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. Edgecombe continues to nurse a left calf injury. Even though he's missed the last three games, the rookie out of Baylor might be available to play Sunday, though a decision will likely be made closer to Sunday's tipoff. Edgecombe is averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season.
