76ers Rookie VJ Edgecombe Spotted Linking Up With Dwyane Wade At High-Profile Aramis Launch
After the disappointing 2024-25 NBA season, the Philadelphia 76ers aimed to enhance the roster for better results next season. They selected VJ Edgecombe with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft.
Edgecombe was a consensus five-star recruit and one of the top players in the 2024 class. Shortly after joining the league, he began gaining attention as Bennedict Mathurin made headlines by trash-talking him ahead of his NBA debut.
Despite dealing with trash talk, VJ Edgecombe made a strong impression during his summer league debut against the Utah Jazz. His addition sparked excitement among the 76ers fans for the 2025-26 NBA season. However, before the season started, Edgecombe got the opportunity to meet a legend.
Recently, photos circulated on social media showing that VJ Edgecombe met Dwyane Wade, one of the players often compared to him during the draft process, at an Aramis launch event in Bloomingdale.

Aramis collaborates with Wade on his off-court business ventures. It was no surprise to watch him at their launch event, but for Edgecombe, it was stunning for fans. The post quickly went viral on social media platforms.
Tyrese Maxey Can’t Wait To Share The NBA Court With VJ Edgecombe
The 2024-25 NBA season was disappointing for the 76ers as their stars, like Joel Embiid and Paul George, missed most of the games due to injury. As the 2025-26 NBA season approaches, the 76ers’ point guard Tyrese Maxey is excited to play alongside Edgecombe.
“I like him. His charisma is a good, he’s a good guy, a good kid, but he works his tail off, man. He asks questions. He wants to be good. And those are type of players you want to be around, players that really want to be great, want to win games, want to compete, want to do whatever it takes to help the organization become successful. We got blessed to be able to get him at three, and I think he’ll do something. I think the franchise will really appreciate him,” Maxey said during a recent interview..
