OKLAHOMA CITY –
The Oklahoma City Thunder have made a move ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Thursday.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, OKC is acquiring shooting guard Jared McCain from the Philadelphia 76ers.
Reports indicate that the Sixers will receive a 2026 Houston first-round pick, a 2027 second-round pick, the most favorable between OKC/HOU/IND/MIA, a 2028 Milwaukee Bucks second-round pick, and a 2028 second-round pick from the Thunder.
OKC will receive McCain, who, since returning from a torn meniscus in December 2024, has struggled during his sophomore year after the strong start to his rookie season. The former Duke star has spent time in the G League this season.
This season, he’s averaging 6.6 PPG, 2 RPG, 1.7 APG while shooting 38.5%
