Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse announced that VJ Edgecombe is likely to be in the starting lineup for the regular season opener. With Jared McCain out, Edgecombe will join Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt during Friday’s preseason finale against the Timberwolves. Edgecombe’s strong preseason performances have bolstered his case, making him a valuable pick in standard fantasy drafts.
