76ers' Rookie Star Jared McCain Sidelined Indefinitely with Knee Surgery

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jared McCain, a frontrunner for NBA Rookie of the Year, has been diagnosed with a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee and will undergo surgery, sidelining him indefinitely. McCain, who has been a standout performer averaging 15.3 points per game, reported knee soreness after a recent game against the Indiana Pacers. His injury adds to the Sixers' woes, as they have faced significant injury challenges this season, including losses of key players like Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Despite their struggles, the team remains within reach of a playoff spot.
