Philadelphia 76ers rookie guard Jared McCain will be out indefinitely due to a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee. McCain reported soreness following Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers. An MRI revealed the tear, and the rookie guard will require surgery.
McCain had played in every Sixers game this season. The 2024 first-round pick was averaging 15.3 points on 46% shooting, including 38.3% on 5.8 three-point attempts per game. McCain was a leading contender to win Rookie of the Year for this season.
