VJ Edgecombe exits game with groin injury; Embiid praises his leadership

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe left Saturday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first quarter due to a suspected groin injury after taking a shot that caused pain. He briefly remained on the court before limping into the locker room and is currently listed as questionable for his return pending further medical information.

Despite missing time, Embiid highlighted Edgecombe's growth since joining the roster last summer. The 76ers star noted that while he provided early guidance during camp, Edgecombe has quickly earned respect by stepping up as a vocal leader among both young and veteran teammates on Philadelphia.
