An already disappointing season for the Philadelphia 76ers took yet another hit Saturday when the team announced that rookie guard Jared McCain -- one of its few bright spots -- will undergo surgery on a lateral meniscus tear and is out indefinitely.

McCain, 20, has been arguably the top rookie in this year's class, averaging 15.3 points -- tops among rookies -- while shooting 46% from the field and 38.3% from 3-point range. He also leads all rookies in 3-pointers made (51) and has scored at least 25 points in four games.
