Overview

  • The Philadelphia 76ers officially announced that Tyrese Maxey will miss the remainder of the season after reinjuring his sprained right finger.
  • Maxey's injury was confirmed through an MRI, which revealed the extent of the damage sustained during his attempt to return to play.
  • The 24-year-old guard, who averaged a career-high 26.3 points this season, had not played since March 3 due to a combination of finger and back issues.
  • Maxey is expected to make a full recovery, according to the team, though his absence adds to a challenging season for the 76ers.
  • With key players Joel Embiid and Paul George also out for the season, the 76ers have been eliminated from playoff contention after losing 27 of their last 30 games.
