The Philadelphia 76ers will look to get their second win in a row and their ninth of the season on Friday when they host the Charlotte Hornets. Joel Embiid is reportedly trending in the right direction to play.
Jared McCain, however, will stay on the sidelines for this Eastern Conference matchup. The young guard already missed the previous matchup vs. the Hornets, and he's not going to suit up for the rematch, either.
The Sixers will have to rely on Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and — hopefully — Embiid to hold down the fort vs. another struggling team, as Caleb Martin will also be out for this game.
What happened to Jared McCain?
Jared McCain suffered a meniscus tear. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, as he played 28 minutes vs. the Indiana Pacers on Friday before being ruled out for the next game. The team announced that he underwent successful surgery.
