76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Plays 38 minutes Sunday
VJ Edgecombe closed with 15 points (5-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to the Lakers.While it wasn't a spectacular outing from Edgecombe, the rookie scored his most points and saw his most playing time since Nov. 20 in Milwaukee, which was his final appearance before missing three straight due to a calf injury. Over his first 15 games, Edgecombe averaged 37.4 minutes per game, but in his four appearances prior to Sunday, he averaged only 23.3 minutes.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Tips in game-winning shot
VJ 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: Handles light minutes in return
VJ 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.
