McCain suffered a hard fall and was taken off Friday's game against the Pacers and straight into the locker room to be checked out due to a possible concussion, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCain suffered a hard fall to the court that included a smack of his head to the floor, and while he tried to shoot his free throws, the 76ers elected to remove him from the game right away. If he clears the concussion protocol while in the locker room, McCain would be eligible to return, and he returned to the bench shortly after exiting the contest. His status for the rest of the game is questionable.

McCain provided 24 points (10-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Back in Philadelphia's starting lineup after coming off the bench for the past two games, McCain provided an instant spark to a 76ers offense missing Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (rest) with his team-high 24 points. The rookie first-rounder has made the most of his opportunities as a member of the first unit this year, averaging 23.8 points, 4.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 36.6 minutes per game over eight appearances as a starter. No matter what his role is in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation going forward, McCain figures to be an excellent source of points and triples for fantasy managers as an early Rookie of the Year candidate.

McCain posted 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 110-104 victory over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
McCain once again provided Philadelphia with a strong spark off the bench Tuesday, leading all bench players in scoring and threes made while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals on the defensive side. McCain has tallied at least 15 points in 12 outings this season, including in nine of his last 10 contests.

McCain is not in the 76ers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCain has started in each of the 76ers' last seven games, and over that span he has averaged 23.7 points, 4.4 rebounds,. 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steal over 36.4 minutes per contest. However, with Paul George (knee) returning from a three-game absence, McCain will come off the bench Saturday as the 76ers opt to go with a double-big lineup of Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond. Despite the demotion to the bench, McCain has earned a permanent spot in the Sixers' rotation and should continue to see plenty of playing time in a reserve role.

McCain registered 15 points (6-19 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 overtime loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
McCain has cooled off a bit after putting up impressive numbers over the last two weeks, but that kind of regression was slightly expected since he's a rookie who's still getting used to the NBA. The former Duke standout should continue to have a significant role in the 76ers offense with Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. He's averaging 23.7 points per game since being promoted to the starting lineup seven games ago on Nov. 13.

McCain provided 18 points (3-15 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT) and four assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 125-99 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
McCain was coming off five straight games in which he'd scored at least 20 points, but the rookie saw his streak snapped in this one after a woeful shooting performance. That was bound to happen sooner rather than later, but McCain should remain one of the 76ers' go-to players on offense, especially as long as Paul George and Joel Embiid remain sidelined due to their respective knee injuries.

McCain posted 30 points (11-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 113-98 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
McCain provided Philadelphia with a nice lift offensively and from deep Friday, leading all 76ers players in threes made and scoring. McCain matched a season high in threes made, and he has now connected on at least five threes in two straight outings. He has surpassed the 30-point mark in two contests, both of which have taken place over his last five appearances.
