The Philadelphia 76ers celebrated a thrilling victory over the Charlotte Hornets, clinching a 110-104 win at the Spectrum Center. However, this triumph did not greatly alter their position, as they still find themselves in 14th place within the Eastern Conference standings. Nevertheless, amidst these hurdles, 76ers guard Jared McCain continues to engage and entertain his fans beyond the basketball court.
Following the game, McCain, who boasts a remarkable 4.3 million followers on TikTok, shared a playful video where he lip-synced to Drake’s catchy track “Rich Baby Daddy.” In this entertaining clip, the guard turned the camera toward his teammate, Kyle Lowry, capturing his bewildered expression.

Coach Nick Nurse Highlights McCain’s Impressive Game
The 76ers selected McCain with the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He played his first NBA game on October 23, 2024, although the team faced a tough 124–109 defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, in a recent thrilling showdown with the Hornets, McCain shined brightly with 17 points, added two assists, and secured one rebound while coming off the bench. In the post-game interview, Sixers coach Nick Nurse praised McCain, highlighting his impressive performance and the energy he brought to the court.
“Very good off the bench performance for him. You come in and you need some scoring off the bench. It was a tough decision – we were struggling on the offensive end. I was really considering a lot of the fourth of putting him back in there down the stretch just to give us a little more space for Tyrese and Paul [George] to operate because they were closing in pretty hard off some of the other guys.” Nick Nurse said (Via Keith Pompey).
