76ers Assign Jared McCain to G League for Reps After Injury-Plagued Return

Philadelphia seeks to rebuild the guard’s confidence in Delaware following an 0-for-9 start to his NBA return.

Overview

  • The 76ers sent McCain to the Delaware Blue Coats to accelerate his on-court recovery.
  • The second-year guard is 0-for-9 from the field across three appearances since rejoining the lineup on Nov. 4.
  • He is returning from a torn left meniscus and a right-thumb UCL tear that have affected his rhythm and handling.
  • Reporting describes the move as a short-term development step to secure more minutes, touches and freedom to work through mistakes.
  • Tyrese Maxey publicly urged McCain to “go out there and hoop,” emphasizing aggression and confidence.
