Philadelphia 76ers second-year guard Jared McCain is injured again . The Sixers announced that McCain suffered a UCL tear in his right thumb during a workout on Thursday, one day before the team's media day.

"McCain and the 76ers are consulting with specialists on next steps and further updates will be provided as appropriate," the Sixers wrote in a statement.

The injury could force McCain to miss the beginning of the regular season , which starts on Oct. 22 vs. the Boston Celtics. The Sixers begin the preseason against the New York Knicks in the NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2025 on Oct. 2.

McCain suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee in the 2024-25 season and only played in 23 games. Before the injury, McCain was the lone bright spot on a Sixers team devastated by injuries.
