Jared McCain Says He’s on Pace for 76ers Training Camp After Meniscus Tear

The second-year guard has not received full-practice clearance from Philadelphia.

Overview

  • McCain said Tuesday his plan is to participate in training camp and that he is on pace to do so.
  • He described taking rehab day by day and doing live on-court work but noted he has not been cleared for full practice.
  • The 76ers have no official timetable, with preseason games on Oct. 2 and Oct. 4 and an Oct. 22 opener presenting possible targets if he is medically cleared.
  • Before the Dec. 13 left-knee meniscus tear against Indiana, the 2024 first-round pick averaged 15.3 points in 23 games and earned November Rookie of the Month.
  • Philadelphia went 24-58 during an injury-plagued season, underscoring the potential impact of McCain’s return.
