The Philadelphia 76ers faced a disappointing 2024-25 season, finishing with a 24-58 record. Despite the struggles, three rookies emerged as bright spots. Undrafted Justin Edwards stepped up, averaging 10.1 points, while first-round pick Jared McCain was showing promise before a meniscus tear cut his season short. Second-round pick Adem Bona also made significant strides, contributing to the team's future prospects.

Edwards emphasized the progress made during the season, noting their chemistry developed over summer league and training sessions. With a focus on maximizing these young players' potential, the Sixers are looking ahead to capitalize on their growth in the next season.
