The 76ers exercised the third-year team option on Edgecombe's contract for the 2027-28 season Monday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
This was the expected move by Philadelphia, and it will result in Edgecombe taking home $12.2 million during the 2027-28 campaign. The 21-year-old will look to take another step forward in 2026-27 playing alongside plenty of veteran talent in Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
