McCain, the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is averaging 6.6 points, 1.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game over 37 games this season.
It represents a slow start compared to his rookie season, when he dominated with averages of 15.3 points, 2.6 assists, and 2.4 rebounds before his campaign was cut short after 23 games due to a left knee injury.
McCain set an NBA rookie record by making at least three 3-pointers in eight consecutive games last November, when he also scored 20 or more points in seven straight games. He started eight games and was an instant fan favorite out of Duke in large part after amassing nearly 5 million followers as a TikTok sensation.
He is under contract through the 2026-27 season and joins the Thunder (40-11), who have the best record in the NBA. They could use help at the guard spot with reigning Kia NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recently sidelined with an abdominal strain.
