UPDATE: Edgecombe started the second half.

With 4:14 left in the second quarter of Thursday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, V.J. Edgecombe was replaced by Justin Edwards. Edgecombe went to the locker room with an undisclosed injury.

Prior to exiting, Edgecombe contributed three points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 15 minutes of action. Edwards and Jared McCain would see an uptick in playing time if Edgecombe is unable to return

Since the injury occurred before halftime, if Edgecombe does not return to the game, DraftKings Early Exit will be in effect.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
