In the preseason, the 76ers faced the Timberwolves at home, and Edgecombe performed well.

In this regard, reporter Adam Aaronson commented: "Edgecombe received warm applause when he came off the court. In his home debut in Philadelphia, he scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals on 10 of 18 shots in 34 minutes. It was really wonderful."
