Iffy for Monday
Edgecombe (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis
Edgecombe could miss a third straight game due to a back injury. If he is unable to play, Trendon Watford, Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker could see expanded roles, especially with Tyrese Maxey (finger) already ruled out.

Not playing Saturday
Edgecombe (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
Edgecombe will miss a second consecutive game due to a lumbar contusion, and the rookie first-rounder's next chance to play is Monday against the Cavaliers. Trendon Watford figures to remain in the 76ers' starting lineup for as long as Edgecombe is sidelined, and Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker should continue to operate in elevated roles off the bench.

Doubtful for Saturday
Edgecombe (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
Edgecombe is likely to miss a second consecutive contest due to a lumbar contusion he sustained in Tuesday's loss to the Spurs. If he's ultimately ruled out, Quentin Grimes, Tyrese Martin and Justin Edwards would be candidates for increased playing time.

Misses another practice
Edgecombe (back) did not practice Friday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis
Edgecombe was limited to an individual session after Friday's practice. The rookie suffered a lumbar contusion Tuesday against the Spurs, and it's unclear if he will be able to return from a one-game absence Saturday against Atlanta.

Sitting out Wednesday
Edgecombe (back) will not play Wednesday against the Jazz, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis
Edgecombe suffered a lumbar contusion Tuesday against the Spurs, and it sounds like he will be listed as day-to-day going forward. The rookie will be re-evaluated ahead of Saturday's game versus Atlanta. In the meantime, the 76ers could lean more on Quentin Grimes and Cameron Payne.

Shut down vs. Spurs
Edgecombe won't return to Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to lower back soreness, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports. He'll finish the night with six points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 20 minutes.
Analysis
Edgecombe will likely be re-evaluated within the next day or so to determine his availability moving forward. The Sixers were already shorthanded without Joel Embiid (oblique) and Kelly Oubre (illness), so it'll be up to Quentin Grimes, Cameron Payne, Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards to eat up minutes in the second half.

Fills stat sheet in loss
Edgecombe registered 23 points (8-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to Boston.
Analysis
Edgecombe needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but the rookie continues to show he has already adjusted well to life at the next level. Firmly entrenched in a starting role alongside Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt, Edgecombe has scored at least 20 points in four of his six appearances since the All-Star break while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor. The subpar shooting display was simply an outlier.
