Injuries have hit the Philadelphia 76ers hard in 2024-25. The big three of Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey haven’t played a game together this season. After a 114-106 loss on Wednesday night, Philadelphia is 2-9 to start the year. Embiid, George, and Maxey were all out against Cleveland.
Rookie PG Jared McCain had the opportunity to make his first start last night and took full advantage. The 20-year-old scored a career-high 34 points against the Cavaliers. He also played a team-high 38 minutes. McCain could find himself in a larger role for the Sixers this season by starting PG Kyle Lowry at 38 years old. The rookie PG has proved to head coach Nick Nurse that he can be an effective player for the Sixers.
