Going Deeper - V.J. Edgecombe

V.J. Edgecombe arrives in Philadelphia with sky-high expectations after a standout college career that cemented him as one of the most electrifying prospects in the nation. At Baylor, he quickly became the centerpiece of the program, showcasing a relentless two-way motor and impacting games on both ends of the floor. His explosive first step and fearlessness attacking the paint turned him into a constant scoring threat, while his defensive instincts and toughness on the perimeter established him as one of the premier wing stoppers in college basketball.

That resume propelled him to the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, where the 76ers invested in his rare combination of burst, defensive intensity, and competitive fire. Edgecombe has the makeup of a true star—an elite perimeter defender with the ability to punish defenses off the ball and energize games with his athleticism. With his dynamic skill set and fearless approach, he projects not only as a future cornerstone for Philadelphia, but as one of the league’s rising stars.

Abu Dhabi Games

The 2025 NBA Abu Dhabi Games kick off a series of preseason NBA Global Games, with teams traveling to Canada and Macau in addition to Abu Dhabi. This season marks the fourth consecutive year the league has visited Abu Dhabi, where basketball continues to deepen its impact and strong relationship with the region. Recently, Team USA played two exhibition games in the UAE before going on to win a fifth straight Olympic gold medal in Paris. In 2023, Team USA also held an exhibition in Abu Dhabi ahead of the FIBA World Cup. 

Interest in the NBA abroad has never been higher. The league’s increased focus on basketball’s global development has paid dividends—the last seven NBA MVP awards have been won by international players. With many of the league’s new stars hailing from outside the United States, the NBA has steadily expanded its global presence, staging more games overseas each year. Upcoming stops include Mexico City in November 2025, followed by London and Berlin in January 2026.
