Jared McCain Cleared for Thunder Debut After Trade, Eyeing Increased Minutes

Jared McCain, 21, was traded from the 76ers to the Oklahoma City Thunder for draft picks. The second-year guard, an early Rookie of the Year candidate last season, had been providing valuable perimeter shooting, making 15-of-26 from three in his past six games. His recent seasons were impacted by a lateral meniscus tear and a UCL tear in his thumb. He is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets and is set to make his Thunder debut. McCain could see increased playing time immediately due to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell being sidelined.
