With the Philadelphia 76ers in the midst of another stretch of four days off, now is the perfect time for the younger players to head down to the G League and get some extra court time to grow and develop.
The Sixers sent Justin Edwards, Johni Broome, and Adem Bona down to the G League to get some time with the Delaware Blue Coats and continue their development on the floor. The Blue Coats knocked off the Capital City Go-Go 120-110 on Tuesday and Edwards, on his 22nd birthday, delivered in a big way.

Other notable performances include Kennedy Chandler putting up 16 points with six assists and four steals while Marjon Beauchamp and Malcolm Hill had 15 points each.
