76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe reveals why he was ready for OT game-winner opportunity
Rookie VJ Edgecombe hit a clutch 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in overtime to lift the Philadelphia 76ers to a 139-136 win vs. the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night in Memphis. Edgecombe scored 25 points and sparked the comeback with a late three in regulation that forced overtime. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid each finished with 34 points as Philadelphia closed strong. Ja Morant led Memphis with 40 points, but Edgecombe’s calm finish in overtime sealed a dramatic road victory for the Sixers.
