According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Jared McCain will be shut down for the remainder of the season after further reevaluation by the surgeon who did the operation.
Rookie McCain suffered a torn meniscus and had the procedure on December 17th, as Philly said the recovery was going well. However, they will be indeed resting him until next season.
At one point in this season, the 20-year-old was considered Rookie of the Year due to his impressive performances throughout the 23 games.
In those games, McCain averaged 15.3 points off 46.0 FG%, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists.
On November 13th, fans saw McCain get a career-high 34 points and a career-high 10 assists against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He won Rookie of the Month for the Eastern Conference in November.
According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.
Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.
Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.
According to the Philadelphia 76ers, they will be without Joel Embiid for at least the next week due to their big man suffering a right sinus fracture.
The injury happened last Friday against the Indiana Pacers, which saw Bennedict Mathurin attempt to grab the rebound; however, upon landing, his arm crashed into the face of the 30-year-old.
Once Embiid went to the locker room, he never returned to the bench.
Embiid has only played in six of the 23 games this season.
