76ers' Jared McCain: Lands career-high 19 points
Jared 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.

McCain's playing time is worth monitoring, at least until the Philadelphia 76ers get their two superstars back on the floor.
