V.J. Edgecombe of the Philadelphia 76ers is ready to make his mark on the NBA. The rookie star is making moves in the Summer League and is prepared for the regular season to start in a few months so he can show Philadelphia and the rest of the league what he can do.

The Wizards were led by 2024 first-round pick AJ Johnson, who supplied 20 points and five rebounds. Rookie second-rounder Jamir Watkins was the only other member of the Wizards to score in double digits, tallying 10 points, five rebounds, a game-high eight steals and three blocks.

Washington only scored 58 points without Tre Johnson and Alex Sarr. Kyshawn George and Bub Carrington were also held out of the contest. AJ Johnson impressed from the Wizards lineup, though, with a game high 20 points.

VJ Edgecombe was scoreless in the first half but dropped 15 points and stuffed the stat sheet in the second half to lead the Sixers over the Wizards in Vegas.
