VJ Edgecombe stepped up in a major way in Game 7 on May 2, 2026, finishing with 23 PTS, 6 REB, 4 AST, and 5 3PM.

Edgecombe set the 76ers franchise record for most points by a rookie in a Game 7, passing Maurice Cheeks (20 in 1979).

He also made history beyond the franchise:

Just the 2nd rookie EVER to hit 5+ threes in a Game 7, joining Luguentz Dort
Joins Jayson Tatum as the only players in NBA history with 20+ PTS in a Game 7 at age 20 or younger
First rookie EVER with 20+ PTS, 5+ REB, and 5+ 3PM in a Game 7

A breakout performance on the biggest stage 🔥

    The 76ers are honestly low-key stacked with him, Maxey, George, and Embiid on the same team together.

    More of a winning player than Flagg and Kon people could talk about 50 pts all they want Vj scored 30 pts in the playoffs when it mattered and also scored 30 pts against the thunder without free throws which is more impressive

      Dude shut up Dallas is not even a good team and cooper flagg has nobody else on his roster.

      And Kon was bawling all year and had charlotte in playoff contention, like, what are you even talking about?🙄

      @phillyJay00 Can you read I said more of a winning player what do I mean by that Vj is more clutch Vj has better defense and Vj doesnt put up big numbers just to lose

      If that’s youre criteria you would have voted Chet over Wemby for ROTY.

    VJ should have been ROTY, but ESPN kept pushing for Flagg and Kon.

    • @Football-gd7mi4

      May 2, 2026 at 11:06 pm

      Flagg has 10 times better stats shut up

      ​@Football-gd7mi4not really to be honest but coop did deserve it but vj was definitely over kon.
