If there's even the slightest doubt, sit him again and get ready for Vegas.

You invoked his name, it's all downhill from here.

Most excited I’ve been since Sharone Wright.

He looked like a future supastar until they had to amputate his thumb!

Waiting for the “after further evaluation Edgecombe has a torn ligament in his thumb and is expected to be out 6-8 months”.

He’s getting juiced up. Its part of Sixers program for rookies.

We haven't got a "re-evaluated in 2 weeks" post yet. We're missing a step.

Can't believe we're still paying Kevin Johnson.

While he's out, would it be prudent to send him into the allergy clinic?

Here's a few things I suggest he get tested for since he's a Sixer now.

Peanut, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, dairy, gluten, soy, sesame, eggs, pollen, mold, dust mites, pet dander, insect bites, latex, red meat, wheat, cockroaches, perfume, aspirin, sulfites, corn, bananas, avocados, kiwi, mango, pineapple, coconut, penicillin, nickel, formaldehyde, conch fritters, sea breeze, coral dust, conch shell whispers, pirate gold residue, mermaid tears, Nassau sunsets, steel drum vibrations, flip-flop lint, conch salad spice, Bahamian breeze pollen, starfish hugs, coconut rum fumes, Junkanoo glitter, seashell echoes, palm tree shade, Goombay punch fizz.

This getting depressing. Can someone just fan fiction up some stories about VJ quietly dominating summer league? Doesn’t have to be crazy, just like ‘VJ shot like trash tonight but he did have 9 dimes, including 3 smooth dump offs on pnr for dunks. The one where he kinda jumped through Dylan Harper and behind the backed it to Broome was slick af. Also had 4 steals and a chase down block on Mickey McCringle.’ I can’t just box score watch Hunter Sallis stats for another couple weeks.

He was shooting 3's today during practice so he seems fine.

I wonder if this is a "He showed us enough and we don't want to subject him to injury the rest of the summer" type of deal.
