Jared McCain has made the most of his fresh start with the Oklahoma City Thunder. After coming over mid-season in 2025-26, he gave OKC an immediate spark off the bench, averaging 10.4 points on sharp 46.2% shooting over 30 games.
He’s taken another leap early in the 2026-27 season, bumping his numbers up to roughly 13 points and 3.6 rebounds a night, including a 23-point outburst against the Clippers.
Off the court, plenty of chatter still centers on his signature painted nails, something he’s been doing since his Duke days, though McCain keeps letting his game do the talking.
LA Clippers mascot told to stop Jared McCain stunt
During the Clippers‘ one-point win against Oklahoma City, LA mascot Chuck the Condor tried to get under Jared McCain’s skin by rolling out a courtside nail stand.
A clip posted on X by fan Jacob (@Jacobtheclipper) showed the mascot setting up the nail stand prop right near the baseline to poke fun at the Thunder guard, as well as holding an image of him and his nails.
The joke didn’t last very long, though. According to the post, someone from Clippers upper management stepped in almost immediately, called off the bit, and had staff pack the whole thing up.
