VJ Edgecombe: No. 3 pick shakes off slow start, helps Sixers to win in Las Vegas debut
No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe recovered from some early rust on Tuesday, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a win in his first game in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada. Edgecombe went scoreless in the first half, missing each of his first seven attempts from the field. He responded by producing 15 points over the next two quarters, going 4 of 7 from the field and 6 of 6 at the free-throw line in a 74-58 win over the Washington Wizards. Advertisement Once Edgecombe got going, the 19-year-old showcased each element of his game, from his explosion on offense to his ability to make plays for teammates. He was dynamic with the ball in his hands and got into the paint with ease after getting past the defense. Edgecombe debuted with the Sixers on July 5, producing 28 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal. He was sidelined for the last four games due to a left thumb sprain, though he participated in some on-court workouts before receiving clearance to play on Tuesday. The former Baylor guard overcame some early inconsistency in his return, but eventually settled into the game and put a rough start behind him. He played a key role for the team down the stretch and made several crucial plays to help the Sixers get by the Wizards. Advertisement After picking up their first win, the Sixers return to action on Wednesday (8 p.m. EDT, ESPN) and will wrap up their stay in the desert on Friday (6 p.m. EDT, NBA TV).

Key Magpies ruled out of MCG clash with Fremantle
Collingwood recruit Dan Houston and Norm Smith Medallist Bobby Hill have been ruled out of facing Fremantle at the MCG. Houston suffered a mild abdominal strain in the Magpies' defeat to Gold Coast last Friday night and will miss the next two weeks. The former Port Adelaide superboot had scans after playing the Suns, with results ruling him out of facing the Dockers and Richmond. Hill will sit out a fourth straight match after dealing with personal reasons, and battling with illness last week. "Hill returned to training over the weekend," Collingwood high performance boss Jarrod Wade said. "His focus is on resuming full training before a timeline is placed on his return." Along with Houston, veteran Jeremy Howe will leave another hole in Collingwood's defence after suffering an adductor strain against Gold Coast, ruling him out for two weeks. But in better news for the Magpies, forward Beau McCreery is set to return against Fremantle after recovering from a hamstring that led him to miss the past three matches. A pair of defenders have been ruled out for two weeks each, while a forward is a test for Sunday's clash with Fremantle 👀 Read the full injury update here: — Collingwood FC (@CollingwoodFC) July 16, 2025 Premiership star Jordan De Goey is due to come out of concussion protocols in coming days after copping a hit at training. But De Goey will be put through a two-week training block before being considered to play. The 29-year-old has been restricted to five games this season, the last coming in round eight against Geelong. Collingwood being without a number of key players won't worry them. In round nine, the Magpies travelled to Perth undermanned and managed to secure a 14-point win against Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
