Overview
- The 76ers assigned McCain to the Delaware Blue Coats on Thursday, with plans for him to play two home games against the Greensboro Swarm.
- Nick Nurse said the goal is to give McCain longer stints and conditioning reps in a controlled setting before a quick recall.
- McCain remains on a minutes restriction and will stay integrated at the Sixers’ facility while he builds rhythm and timing.
- The guard is 0-for-9 in 31 total minutes across three short NBA appearances since returning on Nov. 4.
- McCain missed most of last season with a left meniscus tear and later underwent right-thumb UCL surgery, and he has noted discomfort with a bulky knee brace as he works back.
