Philadelphia announced Saturday that McCain will be assigned to their G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats.

This has been a challenging season for McCain. In 30 games so far, he is averaging only 6.3 points in 35.4 percent shooting. He was out of the rotation in Philly's 117-115 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After 23 games, McCain's 2024-25 promising rookie campaign was cut short due to a left knee meniscus tear. And he missed the initial portion of this season after suffering from a right thumb UCL tear.

The 76ers can only hope that McCain can recover from his season slump amid trade rumors.
