Sixers Reassign Jared McCain for Second G League Stint After Rough Outing

Philadelphia will use brief G League reps to rebuild his rhythm.

Overview

  • Philadelphia sent McCain to the Delaware Blue Coats for the second time this season over the weekend.
  • In Sunday’s loss to the Noblesville Boom, he shot 5-for-18 for 15 points with zero assists and six turnovers in 30 minutes.
  • He was recalled for Monday’s game against the Pacers, with Nick Nurse saying the team will keep him available during the back-to-back and revisit plans Wednesday or Thursday.
  • Across roughly 30 NBA games this season, he is averaging about 6.2 points with reduced efficiency and playmaking after a prior meniscus tear and a preseason setback.
  • As rookie VJ Edgecombe earns a larger role, rival teams have reportedly inquired about McCain ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
