McCain, Guerschon Yabusele, and Jeff Dowtin combined for 58 points, and were rewarded with crucial minutes, to help the Sixers snap a five-game losing skid.
Philadelphia 76ers' Guerschon Yabusele, center, goes up for a shot against Charlotte Hornets' Grant Williams during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, in Philadelphia.Jared McCain calls his in-game mindset “staying in the dance,” which is useful while guarding Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball late in overtime.
Dowtin’s entrance was the first rotation surprise, holding the backup point guard role instead of Reggie Jackson. Yabusele then began the second half over Andre Drummond, and played down the stretch of the fourth quarter and overtime. McCain got second-half stints over Eric Gordon and Kelly Oubre Jr., and had the ball in his hands in crunch time to create his own shot.
And Nurse surely is not done tinkering with personnel, as he aims to identify pathways to win while playing without one or multiple stars. KJ Martin was out of the rotation Sunday, while Gordon played 17 minutes but zero in the fourth or overtime. Oubre, a starter, was not on the floor down the stretch of the fourth quarter, but certainly will in the future.
