Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George was hyping up No. 3 overall pick and new teammate VJ Edgecombe following the rookie's NBA Summer League debut over the weekend.

No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe will reportedly be sidelined as the 76ers begin their summer league stint in Las Vegas on Thursday.

The 76ers were one of the teams in action, but unfortunately, their top rookie got hit with an injury update on Wednesday. HoopsHype's writer, Michael Scotto, reported, "76ers No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe has been diagnosed with a left thumb sprain." This means that he will miss the 76ers' Las Vegas Summer League opener on Thursday.
