Overview
- Philadelphia confirmed Saturday that McCain will join the Delaware Blue Coats, marking his second G League assignment of the season.
- His role has diminished in recent weeks, including no action in Friday’s loss to Cleveland, and he has not topped 11 minutes in a game since Jan. 5.
- McCain is shooting 35.4% from the field and 32.3% from three this season, a downturn for a guard drafted for his floor spacing.
- He returned in November from a December 2024 meniscus tear and a September thumb UCL injury and a brief November Blue Coats stint preceded his best stretch of the year.
- Delaware plays Sunday and Monday in Indiana against the Noblesville Boom, and reporters expect this assignment to keep McCain out for upcoming Sixers games against the Pacers and Suns.
