Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe delivered a poster dunk over Indiana's Tony Bradley, helping fuel a 113-104 comeback win over the Pacers. The electrifying play, set up by Tyrese Maxey, sent the Wells Fargo Center into a frenzy and quickly went viral. Despite the highlight, Edgecombe downplayed the moment, saying he'd felt the impact of the hard landing.

While the slam showcased his explosive athleticism, Edgecombe clarified he has no plans to enter the All-Star Weekend dunk contest if asked. His focus remains on contributing to the Sixers' playoff push. The 6-foot-4 guard, a top-10 vertical leap performer at the combine, has already proven himself as a scoring threat, joining a select group of rookies with multiple 20-point games.

Philadelphia's victory was powered by Joel Embiid's 30 points and Tyrese Maxey's 29 points and eight steals. Edgecombe's 11 points were secondary to the momentum swing his dunk provided. The team now turns to a back-to-back against Phoenix, hoping the soreness from his landing subsides. His practice dunk on Embiid remains his personal best, but only his teammates witnessed it.
