Strong showing in Houston Edgecombe chipped in 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Thursday's 113-102 loss to the Rockets.

Impact The third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft is putting the finishing touches on a productive first season. Edgecombe has scored in double digits in 10 of the last 11 games, averaging 20.6 points, 5.7 boards, 5.3 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch, and his usage isn't likely to shrink while Joel Embiid (appendix) remains on the shelf.

Dishes 10 dimes in Wednesday's win Edgecombe closed Wednesday's 153-131 win over Washington with 23 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and 10 assists over 33 minutes.

Impact Edgecombe scored 14 of his 23 points in the second half to finish as the Sixers' third-leading scorer behind Paul George (39 points) and Tyrese Maxey (28 points). Edgecombe served more as a facilitator during Wednesday's victory and was one dime shy from tying a career high in assists en route to his seventh double-double of the season (and third in nine games since March 15). Since the All-Star break, the first-round rookie has averaged 19.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 33.2 minutes per game.

Keeps scorching nets from deep Edgecombe produced 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 win over the Hornets.

Impact That's now five straight games in double figures in scoring for Edgecombe. During this span, the rookie first-rounder is averaging 26.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 35.6 minutes per game while shooting a blistering 51.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Edgecombe, Returning Ex-All-Stars Power 76ers to 157-137 Blowout vs Bulls — March 25, 2026 VJ Edgecombe, Joel Embiid and Paul George helped the 76ers massacre Chicago in Philadelphia.

MARCH 26 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Chips in 22 points in blowout win Edgecombe finished Wednesday's 157-137 win over the Bulls with 22 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes.

Impact It was just the third time in 22 games since the All-Star break that Edgecombe attempted least than 10 field goals, but that was unsurprising given the returns of both Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension). Edgecombe was still productive despite the dip in shots, finishing as the Sixers' third-leading scorer to extend his streak of 20-plus-point games to four. He'll be the 76ers' third option behind Embiid and George, but Edgecombe's offensive ceiling will lower considerably once Tyrese Maxey (finger) is cleared to return.

Drops 35 points in defeat Edgecombe closed with 35 points (14-28 FG, 7-15 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Edgecombe was a one-man wrecking crew for the 76ers, as the team's next-leading scorer was Trendon Watford with 14 points in a blowout loss. The exciting rookie has now eclipsed the 30-point mark three times this season, with two of those performances coming in his past three games. With Tyrese Maxey (finger) sidelined, Edgecombe has become even more of an offensive focal point and should continue to see increased usage until Maxey returns, which isn't expected until early April at the earliest.

Grabs career-high 13 boards Edgecombe chipped in 22 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Edgecombe was unable to repeat the 38-point performance he delivered in the win over the Kings on Thursday, but he still posted an impressive stat line while also grabbing a new career-high mark in rebounds. This was the fifth time Edgecombe grabbed double-digit boards, with the best two coming over the last seven days. Edgecombe should continue to operate as one of the top scoring weapons for the 76ers as long as the team remains as depleted as it is right now.
