Sixers Highlight Rising Star’s NBA Offseason Work

Working out in front of legendary banners, McCain is sporting a sleeve on his leg, where he injured his knee last year.

Amid an impressive rookie campaign, McCain’s season ended in a flash. He had to undergo surgery and shift his focus to rehab, instead of developing.

During the 2024-2025 NBA season, McCain appeared in 23 games. He even collected eight starts, and averaged 26 minutes of action.

Although McCain’s early playing time with the Sixers was a result of injuries taking place, the rookie proved he belonged on the court, whether the team was healthy or not.

McCain posted averages of 15 points, two rebounds, and three assists. He shot 46 percent from the field and knocked down 38 percent of his threes on 5.8 attempts per game.

Since the Sixers are prioritizing a mix of youth and seasoned veterans for next year, rather than loading up on the latter, McCain is expected to play a prominent role off the bat. While he might not be one hundred percent just yet, McCain has been putting in a lot of work this offseason to get to where he needs to be by training camp in late September.
