Sixers coach Nick Nurse also provided an injury update on McCain, who had a split removed from his surgically repaired hand.

Paul George (left knee surgery recovery), Dominick Barlow (right elbow laceration) and Jared McCain (right thumb surgery recovery) have been ruled out for the Sixers’ matchup with the 2-3 Celtics. Barlow will miss at least the next two games and be re-evaluated early next week, a team official said.

Nick Nurse reveals his plan for Jared McCain's return, and it could make the 76ers' guard rotation even more dangerous.
