Sixers looking forward to seeing Jared McCain in return with Thunder
The Philadelphia 76ers are looking forward to seeing Jared McCain in his return with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.
The Philadelphia 76ers will see a familiar face back in the house on Monday when they play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the form of Jared McCain. The Sixers selected McCain with the No. 16 pick of the 2024 NBA draft and he proved himself to be a valuable piece as a rookie averaging 15.
3 points and 2. 6 assists while shooting 38. 3% from deep in the 2024-25 season before undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
He then tore the UCL in his right thumb before the 2025-26 season and had to miss more time. It was an up-and-down second season in Philadelphia as he played 37 games and averaged only 6. 6 points off the bench.
His shooting percentages were uneven as he had some tough moments in his return from such a major injury. He had stretches where he didn't play and he also spent some time in the G League. However, McCain then had a 5-game stretch right before the deadline where he found it again.
