Jared McCain, the promising rookie for the Philadelphia 76ers, has been officially ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 NBA season after undergoing meniscus surgery on his left knee in December.
Despite his notable performance, where he averaged between 15.3 to 16.5 points per game, leading all rookies in scoring, the decision prioritizes his long-term health over a premature return.
This injury represents a significant setback for both McCain and the Sixers, who are now focusing on his recovery and planning for his future contributions to the team.
