VJ Edgecombe of the Philadelphia 76ers has been named a finalist for the 2026 NBA Rookie of the Year award, alongside Kon Knueppel and Cooper Flagg. Edgecombe had an impressive season, averaging 16 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists while playing a crucial role in the Sixers’ postseason appearance. Despite his strong performance, he faces tough competition from Knueppel and Flagg in what is considered one of the best rookie classes in recent years. The winner will be announced later this week.
