VJ Edgecombe started to groove to the music with Justin Edwards, then fired a handful of shots from the left wing of the Thomas & Mack Center court. Unfortunately for the 76ers, this occurred at 10:49 Thursday morning — not during the team’s matchup against the San Antonio Spurs hours later.

The Spurs hope to debut top rookie Dylan Harper, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, but the guard has been ruled out for Thursday’s opener with a groin injury.
