VJ Edgecombe: “I don’t get antsy or impatient or anything. We’re 7-1, and that’s the most important thing. Tonight, I was able to get going a little bit, but once you just find that joy out there, just playing basketball, I was just kind of hard on myself early because I was missing shots I make, and that’s not on nobody else but me. It’s fun when you’re winning, you know. I don’t want to be a cancer because I ain’t getting the shots that I want to get, you know. I’m still learning.”
VJ Edgecombe: “LeBron James is my dog. We talk a lot off the court. He’s super down to earth human being. Great person to be around, never have bad vibes. It’s always positive and that’s someone you want to be around. You don’t want to be around anyone that’s going to make you feel bad or drain your energy.”

Ashley Nicole Moss: Who's going to be your primary ball handler? Which direction are you feeling like they're going to lead? John Wall: ‘’I’m gonna put LeBron James at point guard. Because he can orchestrate everything and get everybody what they need to be. You allow Maxey to be a scorer. He is your best knockdown shooter in the starting lineup. I think for me, it is going to be Jaylen Brown because you come from Boston where you had the back and forth bickering about who is the number one notch between Tatum and him. And now you come where Joel Embiid is the number one option. Now it is between you and Maxey who is going to be the second option. You can fall in place and be the third option. And you have a young guy in V.J. Edgecombe that just had a great rookie season. Now he has to take the backseat and be the fourth or fifth option. I think that is going to be the problem because there is too many guys want 15 and 20 shots a game."
Adam Aaronson: News: Sixers have picked up VJ Edgecombe’s third-year team option, a no-brainer. He will make $12,219,840 in 2027-28.
Oh No He Didn't: Jaylen Brown on being teammates with Lebron: "The 12 year old in me is like over the moon...no glaze but you playing with one of the greatest" VJ Edgecombe: "He's exactly old enough to be my dad, which is crazy. I ain't gonna lie. His son is older than me which is crazy"
As the Philadelphia 76ers begin a season with a star-laden roster, center Joel Embiid rejects the narrative that anyone needs to sacrifice for this team to succeed. "I'm against the concept of sacrificing," he said after Friday's preseason finale. "I think the way I explained it was you do what you do best, and we're going to support you. ... I don't think anybody has to take a back seat." Albeit without second-year starting guard VJ Edgecombe, who was held out of Friday's 125-120 loss to the Boston Celtics for precautionary reasons, Sixers coach Nick Nurse gave the closest glimpse of what this Sixers team may look like this season.
