Overview

• McCain had UCL repair on Sept. 30 and shared groggy hospital videos singing songs by Drake, Lil Baby, Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae.
• Philadelphia said he will be reevaluated in approximately four weeks after surgery performed by Dr. Michelle Carlson at HSS.
• ESPN’s Shams Charania previously projected a 4–6 week absence, but the team’s update does not set a return date.
• His status for training camp and the Oct. 22 opener in Boston is uncertain, with veterans Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon positioned to absorb minutes.
• The development lands as Joel Embiid and Paul George report no timetables for their knee recoveries, following McCain’s promising 23-game rookie start before a December knee injury.
