Well, that\u2019s a step in the right direction, at least!<\/p>\n
Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> rookie VJ Edgecombe, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft<\/a>, will return to NBA Summer League action tonight after missing the team\u2019s last four seasonal contests with a left thumb sprain. The Sixers are set to take on the Washington Wizards<\/a> in Las Vegas at 8:30 p.m. ET. on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n The team announced Edgecombe\u2019s return in a social media post. <\/p>\n The young guard out of Baylor made a strong first impression in his first and only Summer League contest so far\u2014the team\u2019s summer opener back on July 5 in Salt Lake City. Edgecombe finished that contest with 28 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal (and some trash talk). Since then, Edgecombe missing games had really taken the air out<\/a> of any excitement building this offseason for the Sixers, so it\u2019s good to see him make such a quick return. <\/p>\n Honestly, it\u2019s nice to have any good news coming out of the Sixers camp right now. We are just a day removed from the surprise news of Paul George undergoing arthroscopic surgery on Monday to repair an injury he sustained in an offseason workout, according to the team. He is now set to be re-evaluated at the start of training camp. You know, just normal Sixers things!<\/p>\n Edgecombe and the rest of the Summer Sixers will tip off with the Wizards at 8:30 p.m. ET. on NBA Sports Philadelphia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Well, that\u2019s a step in the right direction, at least!
