LAS VEGAS, U.S.A. – VJ Edgecombe continued to turn heads in the NBA 2K25 Summer League with a strong performance Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

He finished with 15 points, six rebounds, and four assists to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 74-58 win over the Washington Wizards.

It was Edgecombe’s first summer league game in Las Vegas, and first since his debut in Salt Lake City, when he announced his arrival as a pro.

In that opening game against the Utah Jazz, he exploded for 28 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and a steal in just 30 minutes.

Against the Wizards, Edgecombe picked up right where he left off with a complete effort on both ends of the floor.

The 76ers Summer League continues tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.

MLB

Jazz Chisholm Jr. made his second MLB All-Star Game appearance and it turned out to be a historic finish for the mid-summer classic.

Chisholm’s American League rallied from a six-run deficit to force the first-ever All-Star game swing-off, which the National League ultimately won.

In the sixth inning, Chisholm lined out to center in his first at bat, he returned in the seventh inning and led off with a chopper to first and reached safely after a fielding error.

In his third at-bat in the ninth, Chisholm lined a rocket down the right field line for an out, but it moved a runner to third and set the stage for the game-tying RBI.

Now that the festivities are done – the Yankees return to regular season action on Friday, July 18, with a three-game road series against the Atlanta Braves.

Baseball

Athletics prospect Ayden Johnson is finding his rhythm in his first season of pro baseball in the Dominican Summer League.

The 17-year-old infielder has had with a strong presence both offensively and defensively in the season so far.

After a slow start at the plate, Johnson has hit his stride recently with hits in four of his last five games, including three multi hit games.

On Tuesday, he finished 2-5 with a double and three RBI and a stolen base in the 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

In July, he’s hitting .379 with fIve RBI, and five stolen bases.

Johnson signed with the Athletics as the 11th ranked international prospect in the Class of 2025.
