In the NBA regular season, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Celtics 117-116.

After the game, 76ers No. 3 overall pick guard Edgecombe accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about his name being compared with LeBron, he said: "It feels great to be compared with LeBron. This is really incredible. But what I hope more is to go further in my career. A long career is the most important. Seeing that LeBron has been working hard in the league for more than 20 years, I hope that one day I can do the same."
