SALT LAKE CITY – A wire-to-wire affair between two teams replete with promising young talent, including 2025 No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe – who provided a game-high 28 points – culminated in a 93-89 win for the Utah Jazz over the Philadelphia 76ers in a 2025 Salt Lake Summer League battle at Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City on Saturday night.
The first half unfolded in somewhat deceptive fashion, considering the Jazz had built a 52-43 lead by intermission that seemed to portend an eventual comfortable win. However, the 76ers’ defense stepped up in the third quarter, limiting Utah to 14 points during the period to shave five points from their deficit heading into the final period. Ultimately, the Jazz were able to squeeze out a win in a game during which they were outscored in the paint by a 48-30 margin and committed 15 turnovers, as a rushed fadeaway 3-point attempt by Edgecombe with 6 seconds remaining failed to find the net.
Edgecombe complemented his aforementioned game-high point total with 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks. Adem Bona registered 16 points, eight rebounds, one steal and one block. Rookie second-round Johni Broome and Justin Edwards generated matching 13-point tallies while also pulling down five and three rebounds, respectively.
Kyle Filipowksi paced the Jazz with 22 points while also supplying six rebounds, two assists and a block. Brice Sensabaugh followed with 19 points – powered by 5-for-8 shooting from 3-point range – and also supplied seven rebounds and two blocks. Cody Williams cobbled together 14 points, five boards, one steal and one block. No. 18 overall pick Walter Clayton Jr. paced the second unit with nine points, supplementing them with three rebounds, six assists and one block.
Both teams return to the floor Monday night, with the 76ers facing off with the Oklahoma City Thunder (7 ET, ESPN) and the Jazz tangling with the Memphis Grizzlies (9 ET, NBA TV).
