McCain had 23 points on 7-for-16 shooting in the loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. This comes after he had 27 points, 23 in the second half, in Sunday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. Overall, the No. 16 pick in the 2024 draft is averaging 11.5 points while shooting 45.6% from the floor and 35.9% from deep in 10 games.

As its Big Three of George, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey deal with injuries, the Sixers have gotten off to a rough start. Will they be able to turn things around?

Monday night was the first time this season the Sixers got to as many as 110 points in regulation. (They scored 118 points in overtime against the Indiana Pacers in their only win.) They made 20 3s, they played fast, they had 27 assists. George’s gravity and his ability to create a basketball advantage helped in all of those areas.
