VJ Edgecombe’s injury absence sucks life out of Sixers’ Las Vegas summer league opener

VJ Edgecombe started to groove to the music with Justin Edwards, then fired a handful of shots from the left wing of the Thomas & Mack Center court. Unfortunately for the 76ers, this occurred at 10:49 Thursday morning — not during the team's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs hours later. Edgecombe missed his third consecutive summer league game with a thumb sprain, upending the momentum from a dazzling debut for the Sixers less than a week ago. His absence continues to put a damper on what had been expected to be a long-awaited splash of excitement following the Sixers’ disastrous 2024-25 regular season.
