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.

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.

Edgecombe faced the No. 5 pick of the Utah Jazz, Ace Bailey. He outperformed the 6-foot-10 forward and had 28 points on 13-of-27 shooting. The 76ers' rookie added 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and one steal in his debut.
