Edgecombe averaged 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.1 steals playing for the Bears in the 2024-25 season. He will now look to bring his all-around game to the city of Philadelphia and help the Sixers bounce back from a tough season.

Former Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe was selected with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft by the 76ers at the Barclays Center.
