Jared McCain Injury: Practiced with team Thursday

McCain (thumb) practiced with the team Thursday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

McCain has been sidelined to start the season due to thumb surgery, and his spectacular rookie season ended short due to a torn meniscus, but it's encouraging to see him back in practice. He is projected to make his season debut in early November, but unless news comes out that may alter that timeline, expect him to be back on the court by then. It's also unclear how he'll fit into the backcourt, with Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe playing so well.
