The rookie is going to miss Tuesday night's game while recovering from an illness of some kind. His next chance to play will come on Friday against the Bulls, and fantasy managers should expect more work for Jared McCain until then.

VJ Edgecombe has been added to the Philadelphia 76ers' injury report as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness.

The rookie guard is one of several Sixers dealing with a bug, joining teammates Quentin Grimes and Dominick Barlow, who are also listed as questionable. The team canceled its morning shootaround in an effort to contain the spread. If Edgecombe is unable to suit up, Philadelphia could rely more heavily on Jared McCain, Justin Edwards, and veteran Kyle Lowry to fill the void on the wing.
