Jared McCain is making the big adjustment to being the backup point guard for the Philadelphia 76ers at the moment.

Jared McCain has emerged as a bright spot amidst a struggling start for the Philadelphia 76ers. Entering Friday’s slate, where the 76ers will take on the Nets at Wells Fargo Center ( 7 ET, League Pass ), McCain is expected to remain the starting shooting guard alongside Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt.

Well, as it turns out, McCain would make not one but two new records, one for the 76ers franchise and another for the NBA as a whole, with his eighth-straight game with at least three made 3s.
