US EditionSixers Trade Jared McCain to Oklahoma City Thunder for 4 Draft Picks, AP Reports
- On Feb. 4, 2026, the Philadelphia 76ers traded guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Houston Rockets' 2026 first-round pick and three second-round picks, ESPN's Shams Charania and The Associated Press reported.
- Shedding McCain's $4.2 million salary allowed the Sixers to sit roughly $3.0 million below the $187.9 million luxury-tax line, enabling roster conversions and financial flexibility.
- Despite injuries, the 16th overall pick in 2024 averaged 10.0 points and 38.1% on three-pointers in 60 career games for the Sixers before his season was limited to 6.6 points this year.
- The Thunder added McCain while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined with an abdominal strain, and the 76ers now have 14 players on the roster, enabling trade flexibility.
- Critics warn the move risks weakening this year's roster unless the Sixers follow up with another move within 24 hours, despite gaining multiple future draft assets.
