McCain logged 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 loss to the Grizzlies. McCain continued his recent form, scoring a career-high 19 points despite the loss. His role has increased since opening night and he is now firmly ahead of Reggie Jackson in the rotation. Eric Gordon is also struggling to get anything going, leaving McCain as the primary beneficiary. His playing time is worth monitoring, at least until the 76ers gets their two superstars back on the floor.

McCain went back to the locker room after taking a hard fall during Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets, Austin Krell of USA Today reports. The specifics of McCain's injury are unknown, but part of the medical staff's evaluation is for a concussion, per Austin Krell of USA Today. It wouldn't be surprising to see the rookie held out as a precaution. After spending some time on the floor, McCain was able to walk off the hardwood and into the locker room with minimal help, which is encouraging. While he's out, Jeff Dowtin and Ricky Council could see more minutes.
