Sixers' Rookie Throws First Pitch at Phillies Game

These efforts would translate to the Bahamian's time with Philadelphia in the NBA Summer League, a setting in which he would put up 21.5 points and eight rebounds per game, while holding up his value on the defensive end with two steals and 1.5 blocks per outing. Granted, Edgecombe was limited to only two appearances across both stops in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, as he suffered from a right thumb contusion in his Summer League debut.

While he continues to get ready for his first season in the NBA, the 20-year-old is making his way to various stops around the City of Brotherly Love, with his most recent being to across from where he'll play next season, Citizens Bank Park.

Edgecombe's night at Citizens Bank Park

As the Philadelphia Phillies look to continue their final push for a playoff spot in the National League East, with a match against their rivals, the Atlanta Braves, Edgecombe could be seen partaking in the pregame ceremonial first pitch.

This has become somewhat of a tradition for Sixers' rookies during their first year in the city, with former first-round pick Jared McCain last year. Edgecombe would also get the opportunity to talk to Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh whilst both teams were warming up ahead of Friday night's match against the Braves.

While the Phillies have a long month ahead of them, given their tight lead over the New York Mets in the standings ahead of the postseason, the Sixers can say the same as they look to get ready to take on the New York Knicks in the NBA's Abu Dhabi games for a few games in early October.
