Sidelined McCain: Rising Stars pick 'really cool'
Briefly

Jared McCain, the 76ers rookie guard, has been selected for the Rising Stars Challenge despite undergoing left knee surgery that ended his season early. He expressed joy at the recognition, stating it was a goal he had. McCain was drafted 16th overall out of Duke and had a solid start to his season, averaging 15.3 points in 23 games before injuring his knee. He reflected on the injury, mentioning his initial belief he had a head injury before it was revealed to be more serious.
"It's obviously been one of my goals to be in that game, and I didn't know if I was eligible or not to even be in it..."
"I originally believed I could have hurt my head after falling to the floor against Indiana... it kind of felt weird."
