Payne, Edgecombe help 76ers rally to a 139-129 win over the Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Philadelphia 76ers: Game Highlights

Kelly Oubre Jr. had 31 points and 12 rebounds and Quentin Grimes scored 22 points for the 76ers, who were without All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. Maxey will be sidelined for at least three weeks because of a tendon injury on the small finger of his right hand, the team announced before the game.

Edgecombe took over point guard duties for Maxey after missing three consecutive games with a lumbar contusion. He provided the game's highlight, showing his back is OK, with a two-handed, leaping dunk midway through the second quarter.

Ty Jerome scored 26 points for the Grizzlies, who have lost five straight and 12 of 15.

Jerome's 3-pointer with 9:34 remaining put Memphis ahead 115-107 before the 76ers took control. Memphis went without a point for nearly 3 1/2 minutes, and Philadelphia scored 12 in a row to go in front 119-115 with 6:29 to play on Payne's 3. The 76ers continued to roll, with Dominick Barlow's three-point play making it 128-117 with 4:56 left.

The Grizzlies' frustration showed near the end, as Jerome was ejected for receiving a pair of technical fouls with 1:18 remaining.

Also sidelined for Philadelphia were Embiid (right oblique strain) and Paul George (league suspension). Embiid missed his fifth straight contest, and coach Nick Nurse said beforehand that the 2023 MVP would be reevaluated later this week. George is a couple weeks away from returning from a 25-game suspension for violating the terms of the NBA’s anti-drug program.

Memphis, which entered seven games back of the final playoff spot in the West, had more players out (11) than in uniform (10).

Up next Grizzlies: Host Dallas on Thursday.

76ers: At Detroit on Thursday.
