"VJ Edgecombe was fouled by San Antonio's Carter Bryant on a 3-point attempt on Tuesday night and grimaced as he was helped up by his teammates. Edgecombe stayed in the game and went 2 of 3 from the free-throw line. With the 76ers down 78-53 at halftime, Edgecombe did not return."
"The No. 3 pick in the draft, Edgecombe, the MVP of the 2026 Rising Stars game, is one of three rookies in the NBA this season averaging at least 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. He ranks first among rookies in steals (1.5), while ranking third in scoring (15.3)."
VJ Edgecombe, the 76ers' third overall draft pick and 2026 Rising Stars MVP, suffered a low back bruise after being fouled on a 3-point attempt during Tuesday's game against San Antonio. He did not return after halftime and will miss Wednesday's matchup with Utah, with further evaluation scheduled before Saturday's game at Atlanta. Edgecombe has been performing at an elite level for a rookie, averaging 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game while leading all rookies in steals. The 76ers will also be without Joel Embiid, who is completing a scheduled three-game rest period for a strained right oblique.
