Remains out Friday Edgecombe (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.

Impact Edgecombe seems to be moving in the right direction toward returning to action, but Friday's game comes too soon for him. The rookie out of Baylor will miss a third straight game, and that means Quentin Grimes should continue to start at shooting guard next to Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt. Edgecombe's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Sunday.

Won't play Sunday Edgecombe (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Edgecombe will miss his first game of the season due to left calf soreness. The rookie has started all 15 contests for the 76ers, averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 37.3 minutes per game. In his absence, Quentin Grimes is a likely candidate to join the starting lineup Sunday.

Questionable for Sunday Edgecombe is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to left calf tightness, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact Edgecombe must have tweaked his calf during Thursday's win in Milwaukee, and now he's in danger of missing Sunday's game. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Sunday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, that would open up minutes for Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards and Eric Gordon.

Second double-double of season Edgecombe accumulated 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 overtime victory over the Bucks.

Impact The rookie out of Baylor posted an impressive line -- even if his shooting numbers were subpar -- en route to his first game with at least 20 points since late October. Edgecombe has done a good job of adjusting to opposing defenses, but he's making strides of late. He's now scored at least 14 points in three games in a row.
