Philadelphia 76ers rookie guard VJ Edgecombe edged out Dallas Mavericks rookie forward Cooper Flagg at halftime in NBA Summer League.

The Wizards were led by 2024 first-round pick AJ Johnson, who supplied 20 points and five rebounds. Rookie second-rounder Jamir Watkins was the only other member of the Wizards to score in double digits, tallying 10 points, five rebounds, a game-high eight steals and three blocks.

Washington only scored 58 points without Tre Johnson and Alex Sarr. Kyshawn George and Bub Carrington were also held out of the contest. AJ Johnson impressed from the Wizards lineup, though, with a game high 20 points.

VJ Edgecombe was scoreless in the first half but dropped 15 points and stuffed the stat sheet in the second half to lead the Sixers over the Wizards in Vegas.

According to the Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a shooting on Geddie Avenue in Princeville, where they located a victim. The victim was taken to Vidant Edgecombe Hospital and treated for a non-life-threatening injury.
