Sixers' Star Plans to Be At Training Camp

One player who is certain to get themselves ready for the upcoming season is Sixers' guard Jared McCain, who will look to bounce back from what was a strong start to his rookie campaign, which was ended prematurely, due to a meniscus tear in his left knee. Through the 23-game stretch that the former Duke guard featured in during his rookie campaign, he would go on to drop 15.3 points and 2.6 assists per game, managing to drain 38.3 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.

The road back from his season-ending injury hasn't been the shortest one, as the 21-year-old would sit out of the Sixers' summer league campaign earlier on in the year as he continued to recover, something that he wasn't too thrilled about, as he had it on his timeline.

"I mean, one of my goals for myself was to try and just get a few games in the summer league," McCain told 76ers On SI earlier in the summer. "It just didn't work out like that in the timeline, but I wanted to play, and it sucks, I didn't get to."

Will McCain partake in the Sixers' training camp?

However, it appears that the Sixers' rising star is set to make his return to action in the coming weeks, as he plans to partake in Philadelphia's training camp, as reported by Sixers Wire's Ky Carlin.

"Yeah, my plan, for sure, is to participate," McCain told Sixers Wire. "I mean, anything can happen, but for right now, I'm on pace, and I'm doing great for that."

The 21-year-old's return to the Sixers' system will see him pair up with some familiar faces on the court, such as Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr, and his mentor Kyle Lowry, as well as some fresh faces, such as VJ Edgecombe, Johni Broome, Jabari Walker, and Trendon Watford, all of whom made the over to the Xfinity Mobile Arena over the course of the offseason.

Apart from their preseason slate of games, the Sixers will start their regular season on the road as they take on the Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Oct. 22.
