The Philadelphia 76ers have downgraded VJ Edgecombe to questionable for their upcoming game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Edgecombe is dealing with an abdominal contusion and his absence would significantly impact the Sixers, who are also missing Joel Embiid for injury management. The second-year player has been a key contributor so far this season, averaging 12.3 points and eight rebounds. If he does not play, potential replacements include Anfernee Simons, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Labaron Philon Jr. The game is scheduled to tip-off at 7:00 p.m. EST.
