Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jared McCain is facing a significant setback after being diagnosed with a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee. The injury occurred during Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers, where McCain reported left knee soreness afterward.
An MRI on Saturday confirmed the tear, and McCain will undergo surgery, leaving him out indefinitely. This is a devastating blow to the Sixers, who have already struggled with injuries to key players like Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George.
McCain, the 16th overall pick in the draft, has been a bright spot for the Sixers, averaging 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. His injury will undoubtedly impact the team’s performance, and his absence will be deeply felt. The Sixers are currently 7-16 and struggling to find their footing in the Eastern Conference.
