After a terrific rookie season with the Philadelphia 76ers which was unfortunately cut short by a knee injury, former Blue Devil Jared McCain had another issue this season with a hand injury. And since
Philly’s backcourt is pretty solid, they decided to trade the promising second-year player to Oklahoma City…and that might have been shortsighted.
In his first two games, McCain got 7 points and 3 rebounds against the L.A. Clippers and in his second, against Phoenix, he got 12 points and 4 boards. Here are some highlights from the outing against the Suns.
He’s always been a smart player with a beautiful jumper and with teammates like Chet Holmgren, Jalyn Williams and Shea Gilgeous-Alexander, and he could have a long, prosperous run in OKC.
Incidentally, Phoenix now has three former Blue Devils: Grayson Allen, Mark Williams and Khaman Malauch.
Allen didn’t play as he has an apparent knee injury. Fortunately, it doesn’t look too serious.
Williams and Maluach both got 6 points while Williams got a single board and Maluach got 6.
