Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain told reporters Tuesday that he plans to be ready for training camp as he finishes recovering from a meniscus tear.
'Yeah, my plan, for sure, is to participate,' McCain said. 'I mean, anything can happen, but for right now, I'm on pace, and I'm doing great for that.'
McCain, as well as other members of the Sixers and Philadelphia Flyers, appeared at the teams' arena as it was christened Xfinity Mobile Arena, changed from its previous name, Wells Fargo Arena.
The 2024 first-round pick indicated that he has yet to receive clearance from the 76ers to be able to practice in full.
'I think right now, it's just kind of taking it day by day,' McCain said. 'I'm getting on-court, doing a lot of stuff, a lot of live stuff, but I still have to talk to them about exactly if I'm free for everything, but I'm definitely getting there.'
McCain, 21, received an NBA Rookie of the Year vote despite playing in just 23 games (eight starts) before his injury.
He was averaging 15.3 points per game on 46 percent shooting, including 38.3 percent from distance, when he was injured Dec. 13, 2024, against Indiana. McCain also recorded 2.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds per contest last season.
Philadelphia, which is coming off an injury-marred 24-58 campaign, opens the new season Oct. 22 at the Boston Celtics.
