LAS VEGAS -- As the Philadelphia 76ers continue with the summer league, they hope to eventually bring back rookie VJ Edgecombe into the fold. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft had a fantastic summer league debut on July 5 in Utah, but has since missed the last three games with a left thumb sprain.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George was hyping up No. 3 overall pick and new teammate VJ Edgecombe following the rookie's NBA Summer League debut over the weekend.

After walking out of the draft lottery with the third overall pick, the Sixers found themselves with a big decision to make. Despite being connected to an array of prospects, Daryl Morey and the front office went with guard VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor.
