McCain's introduction into the Sixers' sphere would come during a sputtering season, one that was full of injuries from players such as Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, to the rookie himself, who would suffer a torn meniscus in early December, which would bring his campaign to an premature end.

With training camp about six weeks away, the Sixers aren’t certain if Joel Embiid will be ready to participate. Head coach Nick Nurse discussed the health status of his star center and the team’s misfortunes from last season in an interview with Brian T. Smith of TalkSport.

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has had one helluva career. The big fella has career averages of 27.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while being named an All-Star seven times, winning two scoring titles, and taking home the MVP award in 2023. If it weren't for the injuries, Embiid probably has a title right now as well.
