Returns after rough G League outing
The 76ers recalled McCain from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday.
Analisi
McCain will suit up for the 76ers in Monday's game against the Pacers, but after falling out of the rotation in the team's most recent game Friday against the Cavaliers, he may not be in line for playing time unless Paul George (knee) -- who is listed as questionable -- ends up sitting out the front end of a back-to-back set. The second-year guard didn't make a compelling case for rejoining the NBA rotation after a rough showing in the G League on Sunday. During Delaware's 126-102 loss to the Noblesville Boom, McCain was held to 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and posted a 0:6 assist-to-turnover ratio in his 30 minutes of court time.

Moved to G League
McCain was assigned to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
Analisi
McCain failed to check in to Friday's matchup against the Cavs after evidently falling out of the rotation. This move is likely an attempt to get the second-year guard back on track and to continue his development while he struggles to carve out a role at the NBA level.

Drops out of rotation Friday
McCain (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 117-115 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analisi
McCain had been trending toward falling out of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation for a while, as the second-year guard had been limited to just 10 minutes or fewer in each of his previous five appearances. With the 76ers keen on opening up extended minutes off the bench for both Quentin Grimes and a healthy Kelly Oubre, McCain could have difficulty regaining a regular role on the second unit when Philadelphia is at full strength. After a promising rookie season that was cut short by knee surgery, McCain was sidelined to begin the current campaign while recovering from thumb surgery and has struggled to return to form upon debuting in early November. Through 30 appearances, McCain is averaging just 6.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 17.3 minutes while shooting 35.4 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from downtown.
