Overview

  • Tyrese Maxey has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a finger tendon injury sustained in early March, despite attempts at rehabilitation.
  • Maxey, in his breakout season, averaged career highs of 26.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.3 rebounds over 52 games, earning All-Star recognition.
  • The 76ers, with a 23-53 record and nine consecutive losses, have been eliminated from playoff contention and are in fifth place in the lottery standings.
