McCain had 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
This was McCain's best performance since joining the Thunder, giving him a confidence boost ahead of Oklahoma City's final game before the All-Star break. The Thunder could look a lot healthier after the break, and it will be interesting to see how the rotation shapes up.

McCain (recently traded) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
McCain was traded to Oklahoma City on Wednesday and is set to make his Thunder debut Saturday. The second-year guard will have plenty of competition for minutes when the team is fully healthy, though he could see increased burn right away due to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) and Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) being sidelined.

The 76ers traded McCain to the Thunder on Wednesday in exchange for a 2026 Rockets first-round pick and three second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCain will get a fresh start following an injury-riddled beginning to his career. The 21-year-old guard got out of the gates hot during his rookie season before undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee in December 2024. The Duke product later underwent thumb surgery in September 2025 and missed time to begin the 2025-26 campaign. Once healthy, he struggled to carve out a consistent role behind Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe. Now, McCain will provide backcourt depth for Oklahoma City, competing for minutes with the likes of Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and Nikola Topic (groin) once he returns. However, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) is set to be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, so McCain could see increased playing time right away.

McCain logged 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 124-114 victory over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
It was another impressive shooting effort from downtown for McCain. The second-year guard has drained at least four three-pointers in three of four games since returning from a G League assignment, averaging 12.3 points, 3.3 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.8 boards in 19.8 minutes during that span while shooting a blistering 59.1 percent (13-for-22) from beyond the arc.

McCain produced 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three assists and one rebound over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 139-122 victory over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
McCain made his second appearance following a five-game span in which he logged just one minute, and he impressed in the second half of this back-to-back set. After scoring 16 points in Monday's loss to Charlotte, the second-year guard chipped in 17 points Tuesday, leading the bench in scoring. He set a new season-high mark in triples and has knocked down at least four in back-to-back outings. While he isn't guaranteed significant playing time on a nightly basis, performances like these bode well for him moving forward.

Philadelphia recalled McCain from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
McCain is back with the parent team despite having been assigned earlier on Friday. However, the young guard hasn't played a big role in Philadelphia's rotation over the last month and is likely to be on the bench for the next few matchups. He has made only one NBA start over the 2025-26 season and is averaging 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.7 steals per contest.

The 76ers recalled McCain from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
McCain will suit up for the 76ers in Monday's game against the Pacers, but after falling out of the rotation in the team's most recent game Friday against the Cavaliers, he may not be in line for playing time unless Paul George (knee) -- who is listed as questionable -- ends up sitting out the front end of a back-to-back set. The second-year guard didn't make a compelling case for rejoining the NBA rotation after a rough showing in the G League on Sunday. During Delaware's 126-102 loss to the Noblesville Boom, McCain was held to 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and posted a 0:6 assist-to-turnover ratio in his 30 minutes of court time.

McCain was assigned to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCain failed to check in to Friday's matchup against the Cavs after evidently falling out of the rotation. This move is likely an attempt to get the second-year guard back on track and to continue his development while he struggles to carve out a role at the NBA level.

McCain (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 117-115 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
McCain had been trending toward falling out of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation for a while, as the second-year guard had been limited to just 10 minutes or fewer in each of his previous five appearances. With the 76ers keen on opening up extended minutes off the bench for both Quentin Grimes and a healthy Kelly Oubre, McCain could have difficulty regaining a regular role on the second unit when Philadelphia is at full strength. After a promising rookie season that was cut short by knee surgery, McCain was sidelined to begin the current campaign while recovering from thumb surgery and has struggled to return to form upon debuting in early November. Through 30 appearances, McCain is averaging just 6.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 17.3 minutes while shooting 35.4 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from downtown.

McCain finished Wednesday's 131-110 victory over Washington with two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 11 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The 76ers had their entire roster available Wednesday, and the return of Kelly Oubre is likely to spell trouble for McCain. McCain is averaging just 15.1 minutes over his last four contests, and he can be safely monitored from the waiver wire for the time being.
