Edgecombe finished Sunday's 109-103 win over the Trail Blazers with 18 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 35 minutes.
Edgecombe continues to produce as a clear-cut starter in the 76ers' backcourt despite being a rookie, and the former Baylor standout left his mark on both ends of the court Sunday. This was his first double-double since a 19-point, 10-rebound effort against the Lakers on Feb. 5, and he's surpassed the 15-point mark in eight of his 11 contests since the All-Star break. Over that stretch, Edgecombe is averaging a solid line of 17.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Logs 21 points in return
Rotowire
Edgecombe (back) finished Tuesday's 139-129 win over the Grizzlies with 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals over 35 minutes.
After a three-game absence due to a lumbar contusion, Edgecombe was cleared to suit up and didn't operate with a minutes restriction. Edgecombe's return was especially timely after Tyrese Maxey was diagnosed Tuesday with a tendon injury to his pinky finger, which will keep him out for at least the next three weeks. Edgecombe showed some rust from beyond the arc, but he still posted 20-plus points for the fifth time in eight appearaces since the All-Star break. Edgecombe will need to take on a larger role moving forward in the absences of Maxey, Paul George (suspension) and Joel Embiid (oblique).

Rotowire
Edgecombe (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
Edgecombe will shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence due to a lumbar contusion. The rookie first-rounder will likely operate in more of an on-ball role Tuesday with Tyrese Maxey (finger) sidelined. Over seven appearances since the All-Star break, Edgecombe has averaged 18.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Listed out Monday
Rotowire
Edgecombe (back) is out for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Edgecombe was unable to shake a questionable tag and will be sidelined for a third straight game. The 76ers will be very shorthanded, so guys like Cameron Payne, Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker could see expanded roles. Edgecombe's next chance to suit up will come during the second half of Philadelphia's back-to-back set against Memphis on Tuesday.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Shut down vs. Spurs
Rotowire
Edgecombe won't return to Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to lower back soreness, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports. He'll finish the night with six points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 20 minutes.
Edgecombe will likely be re-evaluated within the next day or so to determine his availability moving forward. The Sixers were already shorthanded without Joel Embiid (oblique) and Kelly Oubre (illness), so it'll be up to Quentin Grimes, Cameron Payne, Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards to eat up minutes in the second half.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Edgecombe registered 23 points (8-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to Boston.
Edgecombe needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but the rookie continues to show he has already adjusted well to life at the next level. Firmly entrenched in a starting role alongside Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt, Edgecombe has scored at least 20 points in four of his six appearances since the All-Star break while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor. The subpar shooting display was simply an outlier.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Adds 20 points in loss
Rotowire
Edgecombe provided 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 117-107 loss to the Hawks.
Edgecombe got off to a strong start, scoring 11 of his 20 points in the first quarter. While he finished as Philadelphia's second-leading scorer and reached the 20-point threshold for the 13th time this season, the rookie also logged a game-worst six turnovers. On a more positive note, Edgecombe was much more efficient compared to his previous six appearances this month, during which he shot 37.5 percent from the field and 22.9 percent from beyond the arc. He also grabbed at least nine boards for the second time this month.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Named Rising Stars MVP
Rotowire
Edgecombe was named the Rising Stars MVP on Friday and posted six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across nine minutes in Team Vince's 25-24 win over Team Melo in the championship game.
Edgecombe closed the championship game with a pair of free throws to seal the victory and led his squad with six points. The rookie first-rounder also paced Team Vince in its 41-36 win over Team T-Mac in the semifinals, hitting the game-winning jumper and posting 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes.
Edgecombe ended with 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and four steals across 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Lakers.
It was the third career double-double for the rookie, and his first since Nov. 20. Edgecombe is dealing with some predictable inconsistency for a 20-year-old getting his first look at the NBA, but the third overall pick in the 2025 Draft has drained at least one three-pointer in 10 straight games, averaging 13.8 points, 5.9 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.7 threes over that span.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Continues to struggle with shot
Rotowire
Edgecombe supplied five points (1-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 128-113 victory over the Clippers.
It was a miserable shooting night for Edgecombe, who's experiencing a cold snap of late. The 2025 first-rounder is shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor over his last seven games, during which Edgecombe has averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 34.1 minutes per game.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Tallies 25 points in loss
Rotowire
Edgecombe recorded 25 points (10-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 37 minutes during the 76ers' 116-110 loss to the Suns on Tuesday.
Edgecombe stepped into a larger role offensively due to the absences of Joel Embiid (ankle) and Paul George (knee). Tyrese Maxey struggled from the field (7-25 FG), but Edgecombe's efforts helped the Sixers keep pace on the second night of a back-to-back. It was Edgecombe's 11th 20-plus-point performance of the season and his most points in a game since Jan. 3 against the Knicks (26 points). The rookie first-rounder has earned a prominent role for himself with the 76ers, and he'll have opportunities for big nights in games where one or both of Embiid and George do not play.

Rotowire
Edgecombe (adductor) is available for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
Edgecombe carried a probable tag into Wednesday's contest, so it's no surprise to see him available. The rookie guard had been dealing with a bruised left adductor. He's been in a bit of a scoring rut recently, averaging 13.6 points while shooting 37.5 percent from the field over his last five games, but he's made up for it elsewhere, averaging 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals during that stretch.

Rotowire
Edgecombe totaled 26 points (10-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 130-119 win over the Knicks.
Edgecombe delivered an efficient scoring performance Saturday, drilling four three-pointers while logging heavy minutes in a win. It marked the seventh time the rookie has played 40-plus minutes this season, and he's now topped 20 points in four of those outings. While there have been ebbs and flows typical of a first-year player, the Baylor product has flashed a well-rounded skill set and largely lived up to the expectations that came with being selected No. 3 in the 2025 NBA Draft.
