VJ Edgecombe Misses Practice Due to Hip Soreness

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe did not practice on Thursday due to hip soreness, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic. Edgecombe, the third overall pick in June, has been drawing praise for his athleticism and playmaking chops. Coach Nick Nurse reportedly likes the look of an Edgecombe-Maxey backcourt, potentially even in a three-guard alignment. Despite this minor setback, Edgecombe's potential is considered sky-high.
