VJ Edgecombe Returns to Game After Eye Injury Against Magic

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe exited Friday's game against the Magic in the first quarter due to an apparent eye injury after being hit. He was evaluated by medical staff in the locker room but was cleared to return for the start of the second frame. His initial departure occurred with 3:01 left in the opening quarter. The rookie's return avoids potential increased playing time for Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain.
