Tyrese Maxey shares message to Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe after loss
Tyrese Maxey shares his message to Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe following a Game 4 loss to the Boston Celtics.
PHILADELPHIA -- As the Philadelphia 76ers now head into an elimination game on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics, they will need all hands on deck to keep the season alive in Game 5. That includes rookie VJ Edgecombe who had a miserable two games at home. After a historic performance in Philadelphia's Game 2 victory, Edgecombe combined to shoot 0-for-11 from deep in the losses in Games 3 and 4.
He only had six points on 2-for-9 shooting in the Game 4 loss, which is just not going to cut it. Edgecombe's shot attempts were down, but the Sixers need him to take more looks and he is being pushed to do so by Tyrese Maxey. "Keep shooting," Maxey said on Sunday.
"Keep shooting. Keep staying aggressive. Find your spots.
He shot nine shots. You got to take them. I don't know.
