Somehow, VJ Edgecombe’s stock might be rising faster in the games he hasn’t played in than the one that he did.
The Sixers fell 96-94 to the Charlotte Hornets Saturday night, falling to 0-2 in the Vegas summer league.
Judah Mintz was the game’s leading scorer with 24 points, shooting 5-of-13 from the field while getting to the line 15 times. Dominick Barlow had 19 points on 9-of-15 shooting along with eight rebounds. After another slow start, Justin Edwards went for a 14-point second half. KJ Simpson led the Hornets with 19.
Edgecombe missed his fourth straight game of the summer, but there was reported optimism that he will be able to return for one of the final two games.
