Jared McCain News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Returns after rough G League outing The 76ers recalled McCain from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday.

Impact McCain will suit up for the 76ers in Monday's game against the Pacers, but after falling out of the rotation in the team's most recent game Friday against the Cavaliers, he may not be in line for playing time outside of a blowout scenario. He didn't make a compelling case for rejoining the NBA rotation after a rough showing in the G League on Sunday. During Delaware's 126-102 loss to the Noblesville Boom, McCain was held to 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and posted a 0:6 assist-to-turnover ratio in his 30 minutes of court time.

Moved to G League McCain was assigned to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact McCain failed to check in to Friday's matchup against the Cavs after evidently falling out of the rotation. This move is likely an attempt to get the second-year guard back on track and to continue his development while he struggles to carve out a role at the NBA level.

Drops out of rotation Friday McCain (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 117-115 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact McCain had been trending toward falling out of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation for a while, as the second-year guard had been limited to just 10 minutes or fewer in each of his previous five appearances. With the 76ers keen on opening up extended minutes off the bench for both Quentin Grimes and a healthy Kelly Oubre, McCain could have difficulty regaining a regular role on the second unit when Philadelphia is at full strength. After a promising rookie season that was cut short by knee surgery, McCain was sidelined to begin the current campaign while recovering from thumb surgery and has struggled to return to form upon debuting in early November. Through 30 appearances, McCain is averaging just 6.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 17.3 minutes while shooting 35.4 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from downtown.

Sees just 11 minutes McCain finished Wednesday's 131-110 victory over Washington with two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 11 minutes.

Impact The 76ers had their entire roster available Wednesday, and the return of Kelly Oubre is likely to spell trouble for McCain. McCain is averaging just 15.1 minutes over his last four contests, and he can be safely monitored from the waiver wire for the time being.

Outside of a few encouraging performances, McCain has been largely disappointing this season, averaging just 7.4 points, 1.0 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.4 minutes per game.

Scoreless over 18 minutes McCain provided zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Despite Tyrese Maxey (illness) missing in action the past two games, McCain has remained a fringe part of the rotation in Philly. He saw some extra minutes Sunday with VJ Edgecombe getting into some early foul trouble, but still finished south of the 20-minute mark. McCain isn't getting the playing time he needs to make an impact in fantasy leagues.
