Sixers List Jared McCain Probable for Season Debut Tuesday in Chicago

Philadelphia targets backcourt relief with Paul George plus Dominick Barlow still sidelined.

Overview

  • The NBA’s official injury report lists Jared McCain as probable for the 76ers’ game at the Bulls, positioning him for his first appearance since Dec. 13, 2024.
  • McCain’s return follows season-ending left-knee meniscus surgery last December and right-thumb UCL surgery after a September workout injury.
  • He advanced in rehab by shedding a splint and practicing late last week, prompting Monday’s status upgrade.
  • Joel Embiid has no injury designation for Tuesday after missing Sunday’s win in what local reporting called a planned absence.
  • Paul George (knee) and Dominick Barlow (elbow) are out, with McCain expected to bolster depth behind Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe.
