Though it's common for second-year players to partake in Summer League, Jared McCain was left off the Sixers' roster. He continues to work behind the scenes to rehab the season-ending knee injury he suffered last year. While he might not be playing in games, McCain is still in Las Vegas getting work in with the team.

VJ Edgecombe will return to NBA Summer League action for the Philadelphia 76ers after the No. 3 overall draft pick missed four games due to a thumb sprain.

Won't play Wednesday

A mic picked up Sixers’ VJ Edgecombe talking some healthy smack to Utah Jazz’ Elijah Harkless during Summer League play. We got our #Dog.

The Philadelphia 76ers began summer league on Saturday night when they took on the Utah Jazz in the Salt Lake City version. It was the first of three games the Sixers will play in Utah before heading out to Las Vegas on July 10.

Good to go Tuesday

VJ Edgecombe is so Philly it’s wild. First a bit of non-story (knock wood) comic relief, then we’ll get into it.

VJ Edgecombe's first Summer League bucket for the 76ers gave fans an insight into what to expect from the No. 3 pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.

To keep things in perspective, Edgecombe’s thumb sprain will be long forgotten if he’s healthy at the start of the season. But folks in Philly have grown sensitive to very mention of an injury.

This is why the majority of teams had VJ Edgecombe third on their draft boards, and why Philadelphia took him at No. 3. CLEAR THE RUNWAY FOR VJ EDGECOMBE ✈️🤯 The No. 3 overall pick for the @sixers is showing off his skills on ESPN! pic.twitter.com/c0dGlNEptB
