Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The rookie has missed a pair of games with a back problem, but he could be back in action on Monday night. The 76ers could certainly need some help after losing Tyrese Maxey (finger) to injury this weekend. Philadelphia also remains without Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension). Due to the injury situation, Edgecombe could play a very important role in Monday's contest if he returns. If he can't make it back, Quentin Grimes will continue to have additional fantasy value as his replacement in the starting lineup.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (back) was unable to practice on Friday, according to Noah Levick. Instead, Edgecombe went through an individual workout session following Friday's practice. The rookie guard is in danger of missing a second straight game after suffering a lumbar contusion during Tuesday's contest. The Sixers are likely going to wait and see how Edgecombe feels on Saturday before deciding if he'll suit up against the Atlanta Hawks. If he's unavailable, Quentin Grimes and Cameron Payne are expected to help fill the void. Between the two, Grimes is the better streaming choice after dropping 16 points with five rebounds during Wednesday's game.

This doesn't come as a surprise after Edgecombe was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game due to a back issue. He suffered a lumbar contusion and is listed as day-to-day. His next chance to play will come versus the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. In the meantime, Quentin Grimes and Cameron Payne figure to see increased roles in the rotation. Between the two, Grimes is the better fantasy option ahead of Wednesday's slate.

The exciting rookie sustained a back injury following a hard fall late in the first half. Edgecombe will finish the night with six points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks in 20 minutes. Cameron Payne and Justin Edwards could see more action in the second half without Edgecombe. Fantasy managers should consider Edgecombe questionable for Wednesday's clash against Utah.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (adductor) is active for Wednesday's clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 20-year-old is dealing with a left adductor contusion, but the issue won't keep him out of action versus Cleveland.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (adductor) is on the injury report with a probable tag ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 20-year-old is dealing with a left adductor contusion, but the issue isn't expected to keep him off the floor against Cleveland. When these teams first faced off this season, Edgecombe managed only seven points in 37 minutes. The rookie has been going through growing pains all season, but his overall numbers are solid. Across 34 appearances, Edgecombe has averaged 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 steals.

The rookie is having a fantastic first season in the National Basketball Association, averaging 16.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals while shooting 38.3% from behind the arc. With production like that, Edgecombe should remain starting in all fantasy setups, especially with a favorable matchup on the horizon. He might be even more productive if Joel Embiid (knee) can't get on the floor.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls after missing the team's most recent contest. Edgecombe has yet to return since being sidelined and remains a fluid pregame decision, with Philadelphia also monitoring Quentin Grimes (illness), who is questionable, while Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) remains out. If Edgecombe is held out again, guard and wing minutes would likely continue to consolidate around Jared McCain, who logged 39 minutes and posted 10 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two steals last game. Eric Gordon added 12 points in 17 minutes off the bench, while Justin Edwards logged 20 minutes in a secondary wing role.

Philadelphia 76ers guards VJ Edgecombe (illness) and Quentin Grimes (illness) won't suit up on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Both players are battling an illness and will have their first chance to return on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. With the two unavailable, this could be a big night for Jared McCain. The 21-year-old sophomore has mostly been an afterthought this season, but he has built up some momentum recently, and there shouldn't be an issue getting minutes on Tuesday.

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.

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.
