PHILADELPHIA — – Cam Payne scored 13 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter, rookie VJ Edgecombe<\/a> added 21 points in his return to the lineup and the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> rallied to beat the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> 139-129 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Kelly Oubre Jr<\/a>. had 31 points and 12 rebounds and Quentin Grimes<\/a> scored 22 points for the 76ers, who were without All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey<\/a> and Joel Embiid<\/a>. Maxey will be sidelined<\/a> for at least three weeks because of a tendon injury on the small finger of his right hand, the team announced before the game.<\/p>\n

Edgecombe took over point guard duties for Maxey after missing three consecutive games with a lumbar contusion. He provided the game’s highlight, showing his back is OK, with a two-handed, leaping dunk midway through the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Ty Jerome<\/a> scored 26 points for the Grizzlies, who have lost five straight and 12 of 15.<\/p>\n

Jerome’s 3-pointer with 9:34 remaining put Memphis ahead 115-107 before the 76ers took control. Memphis went without a point for nearly 3 1\/2 minutes, and Philadelphia scored 12 in a row to go in front 119-115 with 6:29 to play on Payne’s 3. The 76ers continued to roll, with Dominick Barlow<\/a>‘s three-point play making it 128-117 with 4:56 left.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies’ frustration showed near the end, as Jerome was ejected for receiving a pair of technical fouls with 1:18 remaining.<\/p>\n

Also sidelined for Philadelphia were Embiid (right oblique strain) and Paul George<\/a> (league suspension). Embiid missed his fifth straight contest, and coach Nick Nurse said beforehand that the 2023 MVP would be reevaluated later this week. George is a couple weeks away from returning from a 25-game suspension for violating the terms of the NBA’s anti-drug program.<\/p>\n

Memphis, which entered seven games back of the final playoff spot in the West, had more players out (11) than in uniform (10).<\/p>\n
