As he progresses through recovery, McCain shared that he’s starting to jump without pain, a positive sign for his return. This offseason, his focus is solely on regaining his health and getting back on the court.

He also acknowledged the impact of teammate Jared Butler, particularly in running the offense and executing pick-and-roll situations effectively. McCain's eagerness to return reflects his confidence in his ability to contribute significantly to the team.
