Jared McCain is set to miss 4-6 weeks due to a torn UCL in his right thumb, as reported by Shams Charania. This setback for the Philadelphia 76ers occurs just before training camp, prompting increased reliance on rookie VJ Edgecombe from the bench. Additionally, McCain’s absence could influence the ongoing contract negotiations with unsigned Quentin Grimes, with the deadline for signing a qualifying offer looming on October 1.
