Edgecombe also became the 22nd Sixers player to be named to All-Star Weekend’s Rising Stars game, which will played Friday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The Rising Stars includes three teams of stellar first- and second-year players and one G League All-Star team playing in a four-team, single-elimination tournament. After Flagg and Charlotte Hornets rookie guard Kon Knueppel, Edgecombe was the third selection. “I remember when Buddy [Hield] won the 3-point contest [in 2016],” Edgecombe said. “That is something I will always remember. All-Star games. … It’s a blessing to be recognized to participate in such a special weekend throughout the NBA season. Obviously, everyone’s goal is the Sunday game. That is everyone’s goal. “I was fully blessed to be chosen to be in Rising Stars. I’m looking forward to it. Hopefully, I’m playing in the Sunday game, also.”
