McCain happy to step up for Thunder
The Straits Times
|May 29, 2026
Jared McCain developed a reputation among the Oklahoma City Thunder with the way he quickly integrated with the team following the trade deadline deal that brought him from the Philadelphia 76ers in February, and his willingness to keep shooting even through times of struggle.
-
Heading into Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Finals at the San Antonio Spurs on May 28 (May 29, Singapore time), McCain’s role has grown into a crucial one thanks in part to injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell that have led to an increase in playing time.
“I think he’s a special human being,” Thunder big man Isaiah Hartenstein said of McCain. “I think just in general, no one will change the way he is. I’ve never seen someone so happy every single day.”
McCain, 22, was certainly plenty happy on May 26, when he made his first career play-off start - and just his 12th NBA start overall - and scored 20 points on seven-of-19 shooting in Oklahoma City’s 127-114 win to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
