The Philadelphia 76ers are once again battling the injury bug that just won't leave them alone. Not only is Joel Embiid once again dealing with another facial injury, but it has gotten to rookie Jared McCain as well.
With McCain out indefinitely due to a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee, the Sixers called upon veteran Eric Gordon to play a role in Monday's 121-108 win over the Charlotte Hornets. After being out of the rotation due to McCain's stellar play, coach Nick Nurse gave the veteran a look.
