VJ Edgecombe News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Shooting woes continue Edgecombe ended with 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 loss to the Knicks.

Impact While Edgecombe has remained relatively productive, his efficiency has taken a dip as of late. Over his last 12 outings, the rookie first-rounder is shooting just 39.8 percent from the floor and 27.4 percent from downtown while averaging 11.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 34.1 minutes per game. Edgecombe will be looking to regain his shooting touch after the All-Star break.

Regresses during win Edgecombe posted five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Although Edgecombe played a critical role in Thursday's loss to the Lakers, the rookie was unable to produce the shotvolume necessary for an acceptable total Saturday evening. Disappointing results are not uncommon for Edgecombe, who can suffer from dreadful shooting performances despite his immense promise. Although he's come through with scintillating results on occasion, the Baylor product is averaging 15.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game due to tepid appearances that drive down these numbers.

Delivers double-double Thursday 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.

Impact 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.

Posts team-high 25 points Edgecombe recorded 25 points (11-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 113-94 win over Golden State.

Impact While Tyrese Maxey had trouble finding the bottom of the basket during Tuesday's victory, Edgecombe thrived against the Warriors. It was a nice bounce-back for the rookie, who scored only five points during a dreadful shooting performance during Monday's win over the Clippers.

Impact Edgecombe had a miserable showing for the 76ers, but you could say the same about most his teammates too with the franchise getting routed by 37 points. Edgecombe is in the midst of a slump, as he's shooting 41.9 percent from the field over his last seven games with 12.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.

Impact Edgecombe stepped into a larger role offensively due to the absences of Joel Embiid (ankle/injury management) 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 for the 76ers, and he'll have opportunities for big nights in games where one or both of Embiid and George do not play.
