76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Cleared to play vs. Chicago

Edgecombe (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Edgecombe was unable to play against the Nets on Tuesday due to an illness, but he has recovered enough to return Friday, which means Jared McCain will likely revert to a bench role. Across eight games in December, Edgecombe has averaged 17.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.1 steals over 32.6 minutes per game.
