Impact McCain's meniscus is a major blow to Philadelphia, as the team's laundry list of injuries has resulted in a 7-16 record. McCain had been the Rookie of the Year frontrunner, as he was averaging 15.3 points, 2.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 25.7 minutes on 46.0/38.3/87.5 shooting splits across his first 23 appearances. While the 20-year-old guard hasn't been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign yet, he is set to miss a significant period. Reggie Jackson and Kyle Lowry (back) are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence.

Starts second half Friday McCain (concussion) finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 121-107 loss to the Pacers.

Impact McCain was able to return to Friday's contest after being evaluated for a concussion, and while his output in the box score was muted, it's worth noting he started the second half for the injured Joel Embiid (face). The rookie first-rounder has shined when given the chance to be a member of the first unit this season, averaging 23.8 points, 4.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 36.6 minutes per game over eight appearances as a starter. If Embiid can't play in Monday's game against Charlotte, McCain would be a candidate to join the starting lineup and likely offer more fantasy upside if tasked with an enhanced role.

It remains to be seen if he'll able to suit up for Monday's matchup against the Hornets.

Impact Back in Philadelphia's starting lineup after coming off the bench for the past two games, McCain provided an instant spark to a 76ers offense missing Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (rest) with his team-high 24 points. The rookie first-rounder has made the most of his opportunities as a member of the first unit this year, averaging 23.8 points, 4.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 36.6 minutes per game over eight appearances as a starter. No matter what his role is in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation going forward, McCain figures to be an excellent source of points and triples for fantasy managers as an early Rookie of the Year candidate.

Impact McCain once again provided Philadelphia with a strong spark off the bench Tuesday, leading all bench players in scoring and threes made while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals on the defensive side. McCain has tallied at least 15 points in 12 outings this season, including in nine of his last 10 contests.

Retreating to bench role Saturday McCain is not in the 76ers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact McCain has started in each of the 76ers' last seven games, and over that span he has averaged 23.7 points, 4.4 rebounds,. 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steal over 36.4 minutes per contest. However, with Paul George (knee) returning from a three-game absence, McCain will come off the bench Saturday as the 76ers opt to go with a double-big lineup of Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond. Despite the demotion to the bench, McCain has earned a permanent spot in the Sixers' rotation and should continue to see plenty of playing time in a reserve role.

Lacks efficiency in loss to HOU McCain registered 15 points (6-19 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 overtime loss to Houston.

Impact McCain has cooled off a bit after putting up impressive numbers over the last two weeks, but that kind of regression was slightly expected since he's a rookie who's still getting used to the NBA. The former Duke standout should continue to have a significant role in the 76ers offense with Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. He's averaging 23.7 points per game since being promoted to the starting lineup seven games ago on Nov. 13.
