said his plan "for sure" was to return to play in training camp after his promising rookie season was cut short because of a torn meniscus.The 21-year-old McCain was off to a fantastic start in his brief career before he suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during a December game against Indiana.
While there is no official timetable for McCain's return, he still has time to work his way into the rotation on opening night. The 76ers play Oct. 2 and Oct. 4 in the preseason NBA Abu Dhabi Games. The Sixers open their season Oct. 22 in Boston. McCain had averaged 15.3 points in 23 games for a Sixers team that entered last season with NBA championship aspirations before injuries sunk them into the draft lottery. He started eight games and was an instant fan favorite out of Duke in large part after amassing nearly 5 million followers as a TikTok sensation.among the key players sidelined for large chunks of time with injuries. The 76ers went 24-58-- that included a 5-31 stretch to close the season. Getting healthy and certainly antsy, McCain just wants to join the 76ers as soon as he's fully medically cleared. "I still haven't talked to them if I'm free for everything," McCain said, "but I'm definitely getting there."
