Justin Edwards Rumors

Austin Krell: A consistent theme of this first week of team activity has been Joel Embiid looking really happy. Justin Edwards: “He’s really happy. Honestly, I asked him last year, I was like, ‘Did you like me my rookie year?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, man.’ I was like, ‘Because you ain’t never talk to me this much.’ I always tell people Jo is like one of the most funny people on the team. He's hilarious."

Speaking on the latest episode of PHLY Sports, Nurse emphasized the importance of veteran leadership during a transitional period for the franchise. With rookie VJ Edgecombe and second-year forward Justin Edwards in the fold, Nurse is urging established players — particularly George — to take a proactive role in guiding their development. “Let’s start with the vets. First of all, I think that they are here, especially with so many young guys, in a capacity to teach, right?” Nurse said. “They need to teach these guys how to be pros, kind of some ins and outs of the league. I sat down with Paul George for a long time the other day and I was like listen, you are a great like defensive player and there's a lot of tricks, anticipation things, like you need to teach these guys this like quick. Teach them how to, you know, the cheat codes or whatever they are to get them up to speed quicker.”
