Sixers' Jared McCain talks health, shooting struggles in return
Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain is still working his way back from major injuries as he tore the meniscus in his left knee as well as the UCL in his right thumb. The second-year guard is continuing to work things out, but he's shooting only 32.5% from deep in 22 gams thus far.
McCain is known for his shooting. He shot 38.3% from deep as a rookie before the meniscus tear ended his maiden NBA season after just 23 games. The 2024 No. 16 pick out of Duke knows that things will change for him, but he's just going to keep working.
"I'm not gonna fix anything to change anything with my shot," McCain told reporters. "And again, I've been out for a whole year, so still going to take some time to figure it out. I think there's some I can even take more, some open shots, and choosing to drive instead of knocking down a shot I've knocked down forever. I'm going to continue shooting. So, I'm gonna continue to shoot it, and I know it's gonna come."

76ers are quietly sending Jared McCain a strong message he can’t ignore
This season has been absolutely brutal for sophomore guard Jared McCain. After missing nearly an entire calendar year due to a couple of injuries, he managed to make a successful return for the Philadelphia 76ers. However, as expected, his rust has been too much to handle. As a result, he suddenly finds himself having a shaky footing with the franchise.
McCain’s court time has gone up as of late, but hs is still struggling to find his rhythm in the offense. In 19.2 minutes per outing, he is averaging just 7.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists a night while draining just 35.5 percent of his shots and 31.7 percent of his three-point tries. Those figures are unmistakably bad — there is no arguing that.
