It's unclear whether VJ Edgecombe will be available Wednesday in the second night of a back-to-back against the Utah Jazz.

While Philly already has a star trio featuring Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George, they still only sit in sixth place in the Eastern Conference currently. As a result, they led Morey to check in on Los Angeles Clippers ‘ superstar Kawhi Leonard ahead of the deadline, in the hopes of swinging a stunning deal.

The Sixers played with Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr., then lost VJ Edgecombe during the first half after he had a hard landing on his back. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 21 points.

The Sixers lost rookie guard VJ Edgecombe for the second half due to a lower back injury in a loss to the Spurs.

The only major move they made was sending rising guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a slew of picks including a first-rounder via the Houston Rockets in the 2026 NBA draft. It was an interesting move at the deadline when considering that McCain was beginning to find his groove again after missing almost a full year due to a torn meniscus he suffered as a rookie.
