Jared McCain fans will have to get their fix of the multi-dimensional star on the court and on social media … ’cause the OKC Thunder guard tells us he has no plans to release any original music!<\/p>\n

At least not right now.<\/p>\n

TMZ Sports ran into the 22-year-old hooper at LAX recently and asked if he’d considered dropping any OG tunes.<\/p>\n

“I probably wouldn’t at the moment, no. I’m too focused on basketball right now. But you never know in the future. Maybe one day,” McCain told us.<\/p>\n

Of course, Jared’s not just a star on the hardwood … he’s also big on social media, sporting over 5.5 million followers on TikTok alone.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, McCain — the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft — is getting ready for his first full season in Oklahoma City … after he was traded in February.<\/p>\n

Jared suited up in 30 games for the powerhouse Thunder, averaging 9.8 points per game, along with 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists with his new squad.<\/p>\n

OKC is the NBA title fave in many sportsbooks, and if they’re to make good on that, McCain will likely play an important role.<\/p>\n
