MARCH 21, 2026 // 6:30 ET Jared McCain returns to Philadelphia Jared McCain's top highlights with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The No. 16 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, traded to Oklahoma City in exchange for a first-round pick and three second-round picks in February, is back in Philadelphia tonight. McCain (15.3 ppg in his rookie season with Philadelphia, 12.7 ppg with OKC so far) is a skilled shooter on the move, with stable form and strong touch. Heâs also able to get to the rim with smooth footwork and his sturdy frame. The Duke product is a classic microwave scorer â fitting for someone with the emotional fortitude to go routinely viral on TikTok. What will he do tonight as he graces the court at Xfinity Mobile Arena again?
