V.J. Edgecombe
The Paul George suspension will impact everything the 76ers do from on-court play to influencing their potential moves at the upcoming trade deadline.
The Sixers’ win over the Grizzlies showcased the success of Philadelphia’s “big 3” as well as the continued emergence of rookie V.J. Edgecombe.
From improved outside shooting to playing top-tier defense, Edgecombe is meeting every moment and proving himself to be a key piece of the Sixers’ roster.
The days of Embiid leading the 76ers are in the past. The present and future is centered around Maxey, Edgecombe and the rest of their young guard rotation.

The Sixers scored 45 points in the first quarter before collapsing in the second half and blowing a 24-point lead against the Bulls on Tuesday night.
The Sixers nearly made another comeback, but their effort fell short. Poor defense, a mixed bag offensive performance and more observations from the loss.
Maxey poured in 39 points and Bona made multiple incredible defensive plays to help the Sixers overcome a 19-point deficit and remain undefeated.
V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey combined for 74 points while leading the 76ers to a 117-116 win over the Celtics in their regular season opener.
