The Sixers drafted VJ Edgecombe third overall, and after exciting everyone in the NBA Summer League, he's set his sights on a far loftier goal.

There were not many notable pieces of the Sixers' future on the floor in the team's final 2025 NBA Summer League contest.

The 19-year-old poured in a game-high 28 points on 13 of 27 shooting, hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out four assists, made two blocks and had just two turnovers. While Edgecombe struggled from beyond the arc (1 of 7) and from the charity stripe (1 of 3), it won't take away from the fact that his Summer League debut was a resounding success.

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.

The 76ers suffered a 41-point loss to the San Antonio Spurs in their Las Vegas Summer League debut without Edgecombe. They managed just 70 points in the game, with just two players — Keve Aluma and Mark Armstrong — cracking double digits. None of Philadelphia’s five starters reached double figures, as the team shot just 36.8 percent from the floor.
