VJ Edgecombe Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia 76ers forward VJ Edgecombe (hamstring) will play on Sunday against Atlanta after missing the last three games. The rookie has played well in his inaugural year, averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 36.6% from behind the arc. He'll be back on a night when Joel Embiid (knee) will return from his nine-game absence. All things considered, Edgecombe should be plugged back into all fantasy lineups, with Quentin Grimes, who had 19 points in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Nets, heading back to the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, extending his multi-game absence. His downtime keeps Quentin Grimes in a meaningful role, and the shooting guard has averaged 15.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists across his last five games while shooting 40.0 percent from the field. Grimes remains a solid streaming option for points and threes, while Jared McCain, who posted 15 points in his last outing, offers deep-league appeal as he ramps up.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, missing a second consecutive game. The exciting rookie is dealing with tightness in his left calf, with his exit from the lineup leaving a starting spot open. In Sunday's matchup against the Miami Heat, it was filled by Quentin Grimes, who notched 15 points, three assists, and one block. As a result of Edgecombe's injury, Jared McCain also had a more important role in the rotation, logging a season-high 26 minutes off the bench. He tallied 15 points, two assists, and one steal in the game. Both Grimes and McCain will continue to have additional fantasy value until Edgecombe returns.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Miami, marking his first potential absence after starting all 15 games. The rookie guard has played heavy minutes and produced 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists with 2.0 threes on 40.7 percent from the field. His workload suggests elevated risk for a short-term setback, so managers should be ready with contingency plans. If he sits, expect Tyrese Maxey to carry even more offensive responsibility, while Paul George absorbs extra usage in the halfcourt. Quentin Grimes becomes the top streaming option, offering steady minutes with modest help in threes, assists, and steals.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (back) is listed as questionable for Friday night's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Edgecombe is dealing with back spasms. If he's forced to sit out it would be the first game he's missed in his rookie campaign. The 20-year-old started the season hot but has seen his production drop over the past couple weeks. That dip in production may continue if he's able to suit up against the Pistons and their 109.9 defensive rating, third best in the league. If he isn't able to play then expect Quentin Grimes to get the start. Grimes has averaged 17.3 PPG off Philadelphia's bench. Grimes would be a solid fantasy option whether or not Edgecombe is able to face the Pistons.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie guard VJ Edgecombe (hip) is expected to return for the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Edgecombe last appeared on October 4th against the New York Knicks before missing time due to a minor hip issue. The third overall pick in this year's NBA Draft is projected to start on opening night when the Sixers face the Boston Celtics. The former Baylor standout impressed with his defensive instincts, athleticism, and perimeter shooting during the preseason, showcasing the versatility that made him a top prospect. His ability to stretch the floor and complement superstar Joel Embiid should earn him a prominent role early in his rookie campaign. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep an eye on Edgecombe as a potential sleeper with upside in steals and three-point production.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (hip) is dealing with a sore hip, which held him out of practice on Thursday. Beat reporter Kyle Neubeck states that the rookie will not play on Friday, and he's considered day-to-day. Edgecombe is expected to practice next week and even participated in shootaround on Friday morning. This issue seems to be more precautionary than anything else, but his return to practice would still be something to monitor. Edgecombe was the third-overall pick in this year's draft and displayed some insanely athletic plays during the two preseason games against the New York Knicks. With Jared McCain (thumb), Paul George (knee), and Joel Embiid (knee) all on the mend, Edgecombe could see a sizeable chunk of minutes to start the season.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (hip) was unable to practice with the team on Thursday due to left-hip soreness. The No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft has an extremely high ceiling and should be poised for a big role for the Sixers this year, if he can stay healthy. The Sixers have had awful injury issues the last few years, so Edgecombe's missing practice hopefully doesn't continue that trend. He has looked very strong when healthy, and he'll be a great sleeper in all formats if he's able to be healthy when the Sixers start the season on October 22 against the Celtics in Boston.

76ers guard VJ Edgecombe started and played 31 minutes in his team's exhibition against the Knicks in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. He scored 14 points to go with six rebounds and three assists. He was an inefficient 4-for-13 from the floor and 1-for-6 on three-point attempts, but he played more minutes than any other Sixer and actually had a +1 point differential in his time on the floor. The No. 3 overall pick made multiple exciting plays on both ends of the floor and brings great energy to the Sixers' lineup. He started alongside Maxey in the backcourt and even slid over and took some minutes at point guard, which could boost his value if it's a trend that continues. While there's still room for improvement, it was a great showing for Edgecombe in his exhibition debut.

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard VJ Edgecombe made his Las Vegas Summer League debut in Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Wizards, filling the box score in a blowout win. He notched 15 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one block in 30 minutes on the floor. Edgecombe missed Philadelphia's first two games in Las Vegas due to a left thumb sprain suffered during a Summer League contest in Salt Lake City on July 5. The 19-year-old Baylor product can be happy with his production on Tuesday, although Edgecombe was inefficient with his scoring, going 4-for-14 from the field, including 1-for-6 from downtown. All of his points came in the second half. Philadelphia faces the Dallas Mavericks in another Summer League contest on Wednesday, but it's uncertain if Edgecombe will play.
