VJ Edgecombe: Sixers announce injury update for No. 3 pick ahead of NBA Summer League
No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe will be sidelined as the Philadelphia 76ers begin their stint in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to Marc Spears of Andscape. Edgecombe debuted with the Sixers in the Salt Lake Summer League on Saturday, producing a game-high 28 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in a loss against the Utah Jazz. He was one of seven players named as a standout at the event. The 6-foot-5 guard missed the last two games in Utah due to what the team called a left thumb contusion. After undergoing an evaluation, Edgecombe was diagnosed with a left thumb sprain and will be sidelined against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday (10 p.m. EDT). It is unclear when Edgecombe sustained the injury. However, the 19-year-old will continue to participate in on-court workouts with the Sixers and be reevaluated on Saturday before their second game versus the Charlotte Hornets at 6:30 p.m. Edgecombe dazzled during his debut, flashing each element of his game that made him highly touted out of Baylor, from his quickness to his ability to attack the rim downhill. He struggled from beyond the arc, going just 1 of 7, but connected on several mid-range shots. The Sixers will be hopeful that Edgecombe can return to play, though they certainly won't rush him back into action too quickly. He projects to be a franchise cornerstone beginning next season, and the team won't want to risk further injury during an exhibition game.

Watch Utah's Brice Sensabaugh go off for 37 in Summer League, Ace Bailey looks better in second outing
One of the 'rules' for Summer League is this: If a player got regular run during the NBA season, they should dominate in Summer League. Their game should have risen to the point that they were above this level of summer run. Case in point: Utah's Brice Sensabaugh. The former Ohio State forward played 71 games for the Jazz last season, and on Monday night went out and dropped 37 in Utah's win over Memphis in the Salt Lake Summer League. Brice Sensabaugh went OFF for 37 points in the @utahjazz W ‼️ Utah improves to 2-0 in Salt Lake City Summer League action 👏 Also of note from that game: Utah's No. 5 pick Ace Bailey looked much more comfortable after a rough first outing. What rookies do in Summer League is more of a measuring stick than anything else, but a good sign is a player who learns and improves over the course of those games. Bailey did that between his first two Summer League games. No. 5 pick Ace Bailey was impressive in the @utahjazz Salt Lake City Summer League W 🙌 18 PTS 7 REB 3 AST 3 3PM
