Sixers' Maxey to sit out at least two more games
Written by I Dig Sports
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey will miss at least two more games due to his sprained finger, coach Nick Nurse said Friday.
Maxey will not play in home games Saturday against the Miami Heat and Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, extending his absence to 15 contests.
He has also been dealing with a back issue and has not played since a March 3 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Maxey's next chance to play will come Tuesday at the New York Knicks.
The 76ers (23-50) have lost six straight games and nine of their past 10. With nine games left, they entered Friday on the brink of elimination from the play-in tournament.
Maxey, 24, has averaged a career-high 26.3 points to go with 6.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 52 games this season. He made his first All-Star team and was the NBA's Most Improved Player in 2023-24.
