Overview

  • After being listed as probable, Jared McCain was cleared and made his first appearance since Dec. 13, 2024, following knee and thumb surgeries.
  • Nick Nurse kept McCain on a tight minutes restriction with conditioning the priority, and the guard struggled to find rhythm in limited action.
  • Chicago erased a 24-point deficit to win 113-111, powered by Josh Giddey’s 29-point, 15-rebound, 12-assist triple-double.
  • Both teams entered at 5-1 atop the East; Joel Embiid was available, while Paul George (knee) and Dominick Barlow (elbow) remained out.
  • Philadelphia exercised McCain’s third-year option in October, and his return is intended to ease heavy backcourt workloads as he is reintegrated into the rotation.
