Jared McCain Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (G League) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The second-year guard has struggled to find his rhythm after returning from injury, averaging 0.0 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 10.3 minutes across three games while shooting 0.0% from the field. His absence should slightly open minutes for Quentin Grimes and Justin Edwards, who have both played well recently. Grimes is averaging 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists over his last two outings on 55.6% shooting, while Edwards just dropped 22 points with five threes against Boston. VJ Edgecombe (back) is questionable, which could further boost their workloads.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (knee) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The second-year player has only played two games this season after last season's hot start ended with an injury. McCain looked like the early Rookie of the Year favorite in his first season to set high expectations for his return to the court. Unfortunately, limitations have seen him forced to sit out back-to-backs. Philadelphia has played the 21-year-old a total 24.0 minutes across the two games. McCain has yet to score with averages of 0.0 points, 0.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists this season. The 76ers have a loaded backcourt with Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes making it hard to get the returning youngster easily involved. Philadelphia could opt to play McCain less minutes Tuesday with rotations stricter for the in-season tournament games.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (thumb, knee) is officially available for Saturday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. McCain has only been able to play in one game this season and logged 15 minutes of action while going scoreless. That shouldn't be the expectation for fantasy managers when McCain suits up going forward, but given his recent injuries he may be a risky option going forward. When healthy he was a solid option for Philly, putting up 15.3 PPG for the Sixers in 23 games last season. He'll reach that level soon, but it may be a bit much asking for that version of him to return against a Raptors defense that's been fairly stout the last few games. Fantasy managers may want to pivot elsewhere for their starting lineup until McCain is able to show he's back in the groove.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (thumb) appears to be ready for his season debut on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls. Philadelphia has listed him as probable for the contest. McCain has missed the start of his sophomore campaign due to thumb surgery. As a rookie, McCain averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 25.7 minutes before his year was ended by a knee injury. Following VJ Edgecombe's addition to the Sixers backcourt, McCain faces increased competition for playing time in 2025-26, which could impact his numbers. Given his long layoff, it's possible the team will manage McCain's minutes in his first few outings.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (thumb) has officially been ruled out again for Friday's NBA Cup game against the Boston Celtics. The second-year guard has yet to make his season debut after having surgery on his right thumb, but he has returned to practice and is trending in the right direction. Head coach Nick Nurse hasn't given a specific date for his return. While he's out, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Quentin Grimes will continue to see heavy minutes while Justin Edwards and Eric Gordon get some minutes in relief. Unfortunately, Edwards and Gordon aren't playing enough to be streaming options while the main three are likely rostered in most, if not all, leagues.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (thumb) is now under contract to stay with the Sixers through the 2026-27 season, after the team exercised his option on Thursday. Last year as a rookie, he produced 15.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game in 23 games before a knee injury ended his rookie campaign in mid-December. He looked very promising and should be a big part of the team's rotation this year, once he recovers from a UCL tear in his thumb that was suffered in a September workout. He's one of several Sixers coming back from injury, but the standout guard is definitely in the team's plans going forward.

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Jared McCain (thumb) will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The talented sophomore is set to undergo surgery after suffering a UCL tear in his right thumb. Given the expected timeline for his recovery, McCain is likely to miss at least the first few games of the regular season. His absence might lead to more playing time for Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon, although the two veterans have been struggling to be effective in recent seasons, so fantasy managers should keep their expectations low.

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Jared McCain (thumb) sustained a UCL tear in his right thumb during a workout Thursday, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps. Sources told Bontemps that McCain and the team are working with specialists to determine the next steps. This is very unfortunate news, as McCain's rookie year was already ruined by injury last season. He had season-ending surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee in December, resulting in only 23 appearances. McCain looked very promising during the couple of months he played, averaging 15.3 points and 2.6 assists in 25.7 minutes per game.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (knee) believes he has a chance to participate in training camp. "Yeah, my plan, for sure, is to participate," said McCain, "I mean, anything can happen, but for right now, I'm on pace." The 2024 No. 16 overall pick was in the mix for Rookie of the Year honors last season, averaging 15.3 points, including 23.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in eight starts. Unfortunately, his season came to an early end after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee, resulting in surgery. Only time will tell if McCain will be ready to go when the Sixers begin the 2025 campaign versus the Boston Celtics on October 22. Still, even if he is, it's possible he'll be on a minutes restriction. He may also not be a routine fantasy producer as long as Tyrese Maxey is available.

According to Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com, Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (knee) isn't on the team's Summer League roster. McCain is still recovering from a torn meniscus in his left knee. The injury cut short his first season in the NBA after just 23 contests. While healthy, the 21-year-old averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 25.7 minutes per contest. Currently, it's not certain if McCain will be available for the team's training camp and if he could remain a solid fantasy contributor during the 2025-26 campaign.
