After a solid showing in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies, his first after a three-game absence with a back injury, Edgecombe struggled in Detroit. Not only did he miss all five of his three-point attempts, but the rookie shot 3-of-9 from two and did not record an assist. Saturday’s matchup with the Nets should be far more forgiving for Edgecombe, as Brooklyn is headed back to the draft lottery.

Following a three-game absence with a back injury, Edgecombe returned for this game. With Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss at least three weeks, 76ers coach Nick Nurse said before the game that he would be the team’s primary ball handler for this game. He led the starters in assists and could be a decent source of dimes over the next few weeks, assuming Cam Payne doesn’t return to the starting unit. Regardless, Edgecombe will be a priority option moving forward.

Edgecombe is back after a three-game absence, and he’s going to spend a lot of time on the ball. As long as the rookie’s back doesn’t flare up, that’s great news for managers who have VJ on their rosters. Cameron Payne will head to the bench, taking on a role in which he offers limited fantasy value.

After a three-game absence, Edgecombe has been cleared to return on Tuesday. As a result, Cameron Payne or Quentin Grimes will head to the bench. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Grimes offers a much higher fantasy ceiling than Payne. With 76ers head coach Nick Nurse saying that Edgecombe will get plenty of on-ball reps, Payne may be the odd man out of the starting lineup.

Edgecombe could return to action following a three-game absence, and his return would mean less minutes for Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Edgecombe’s status ahead of Tuesday’s tip-off.

While the rookie was on the court for Monday’s pregame session, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse did not divulge how active Edgecombe was. There’s hope that he’ll be able to return soon, but an exact timeline has not been provided. Quentin Grimes has moved into the starting lineup and should be rostered until Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey (finger) return.

Edgecombe will miss a third straight game, and Quentin Grimes should continue to start in his place. Jabari Walker is also in line for an expanded role in Philadelphia’s rotation. Grimes and Walker are great pickups as Philadelphia has five games on the schedule for Week 20.

Edgecombe has missed Philadelphia’s last two games with a lumbar contusion. Quentin Grimes has filled in admirably as his replacement in the starting lineup and should be rostered, especially with Tyrese Maxey (finger) out for the next two games.

Edgecombe hasn’t played since leaving Tuesday’s game against the Spurs with a lumbar contusion. The 20-year-old shooting guard was initially listed as doubtful, so his continued absence isn’t a surprise. Quentin Grimes had 18 points in 31 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz and could start with Edgecombe out again.

Edgecombe is unlikely to play against the Hawks on Saturday as he’s listed as doubtful with a lumbar contusion. The 20-year-old guard missed Wednesday’s win over the Jazz with the same injury. Quentin Grimes, who had 18 points on Wednesday, could start again if Edgecombe remains sidelined.

Edgecombe is dealing with lower back soreness, forcing an early end to his evening. The rookie played 20 minutes, finishing with six points (2-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocked shots. Cam Payne entered the lineup to begin the third quarter.

Edgecombe recorded a complete stat line against the Heat, and he’s picked up the production since the All-Star break. The rookie guard has scored at least 19 points in four of his last five games, providing third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. With Dallas’ Cooper Flagg currently injured and not a lock to hit the 65-game minimum needed to be eligible for postseason awards, Edgecombe is someone who should be mentioned more often in Rookie of the Year conversations than he already is.

Three 76ers scored at least 23 points in Tuesday’s victory, with Edgecombe joining Tyrese Maxey (32) and Joel Embiid (27). The rookie guard has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, continuing to provide solid production as the 76ers continue without the suspended Paul George. Philadelphia returns home for its next game, Thursday night against the Heat.

Edgecombe was the perfect second banana to Tyrese Maxey in this game. The 20-year-old shooting guard had 24 points on 18 field goal attempts and made six three-pointers in the win over the Timberwolves on Sunday. Edgecombe has provided eighth-round per game value this season, according to Basketball Monster.

After scoring 17 points in the semifinals, including a run of ten consecutive points, the 76ers guard scored six more in Team Vince’s championship game victory over Team Melo. His two free throws gave Team Vince the 25-24 win in the title game. Thus far, Edgecombe has exceeded expectations in Philadelphia from a fantasy standpoint, providing seventh-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Edgecombe didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, as he missed all five of his three-point attempts. Over the past two weeks, the rookie has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Edgecombe’s season-long fantasy value has exceeded expectations, with the rookie guard approaching top-75 value. He and the 76ers will look to hit the ground running after the All-Star break, as they’ll have three more games to complete Week 17.

Edgecombe finished Thursday’s defeat with his third double-double of the season and first since November 20. While the recent Rookie of the Year conversations have focused on Dallas’ Cooper Flagg and Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel, Edgecombe has been excellent as well. Fantasy-wise, he’s providing top-75 value, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (97). Edgecombe and the 76ers finish their Week 16 slate on Saturday in Phoenix.

Edgecombe become the first 76ers rookie since Ben Simmons to have 25 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in a game. The 20-year-old guard carried the 76ers to a decisive victory over the Warriors, taking over the game at times in the second half. He’s provided seventh-round per game value this season. The 76ers’ road trip continues Thursday against the Lakers.

Limited to five points in Thursday’s win over the Kings, Edgecombe tripled that number on Saturday. In addition to the field-goal percentage, fantasy managers received solid value in the assist and three-point categories from the rookie guard. The 76ers open a four-game Week 16 on Monday against the Clippers, the first of five consecutive road games.

As has been the case on a few occasions this season, Edgecombe got going in the fourth quarter after being quiet for the first three. He shot 3-of-4 from the field in the final frame, helping Philadelphia bounce back from another brutal third quarter. It wasn’t enough to get the 76ers into the winner’s circle, however. Edgecombe’s production has slipped recently, with the rookie ranked outside the top-100 over the past two weeks. However, that’s just as much due to Joel Embiid’s resurgence as it is the rookie’s decreased scoring.

Tuesday’s game was the first for Edgecombe in which he scored at least 20 points since January 3. With Joel Embiid and Paul George out, there were more shots available to the rookie, whose 21 attempts were the most in a game for him since December 30. Edgecombe is shooting 41.3 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which has limited him to eighth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats.

The rookie guard is good to go for Wednesday’s contest, as the Sixers look to string together back-to-back wins. From a fantasy standpoint, Edgecombe should remain productive, as he doesn’t appear to have any minutes restrictions. He’s averaging 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists through 34 games.

Edgecombe is dealing with a left adductor contusion. The 20-year-old shooting guard had 15 points in Monday’s win over the Raptors. It’s likely that Edgecombe will be available once again given his probable designation. He’s been one of the best players in fantasy basketball recently, providing first-round per game value over the last two weeks.

After getting up 19 shots in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, Edgecombe only attempted seven in Monday’s rematch. A significant reason for the decrease was the returns of Joel Embiid and Paul George, who were both unavailable on Sunday. That said, Edgecombe made the most of his opportunities, shooting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. Add in the eight assists, and this was a solid start to Week 13 for the rookie guard.

Edgecombe connected for a game-tying three-pointer with 16 seconds left in overtime, his first trey of the night after missing his first six attempts. The 20-year-old prodigy has run hot-and-cold in his rookie campaign, averaging a robust 16.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks through 33 games. He’s emerged as a stellar complementary scorer to Tyrese Maxey and has flashed big-time all-around fantasy potential.

Edgecombe has been a fantasy beast recently. His offense wasn’t quite as good in this game, but his recent defensive impact has been unreal. Over his last five games, Edgecombe is averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 3.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.6 three-pointers per game. The only player that has been better in nine-category leagues during that stretch has been his teammate Tyrese Maxey. The shooting was subpar in this game, but he’ll look to get back on track in Orlando on Friday.

Edgecombe had a rough first half shooting the ball, and he entered the break scoreless. However, he came alive after that and nearly recorded a triple-double. The poor first half resulted in a subpar field goal percentage for him, but the counting stats were incredibly strong from him. Edgecombe has found fantasy success while playing alongside ball-dominant stars, which should allow him to be productive for the rest of the season.

The Knicks have failed to slow down Philadelphia’s backcourt of Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey in their two meetings, with the tandem combining for 62 points on Saturday. The rookie guard’s athleticism was an issue on both ends, with his ability to get whatever shot he wanted and slow down the Knicks defensively. The good news for Edgecombe managers is that Philadelphia plays four games in Week 12, starting with Denver on Monday.
