Sixers Recall Jared McCain After Encouraging G League Run

Philadelphia is prioritizing conditioning to ease his return from knee and thumb injuries.

Overview

  • McCain was brought back from Delaware on Sunday following a planned two-game assignment, according to Liberty Ballers.
  • He posted 15 points and six assists on 6-for-13 shooting in about 20 minutes in his second Blue Coats game, playing only the first half.
  • The guard reported feeling closer to his old self without a knee brace, though he noted some lingering weakness and emphasized balance work and repetition.
  • The stint was designed to rebuild conditioning and ball-handling rhythm after he went 0-for-9 across three brief Sixers appearances earlier this month.
  • Head coach Nick Nurse and team president Daryl Morey attended the Delaware game as the organization monitored his progress.
