Philadelphia will be without starting point guard Tyrese Maxey for the next two games.
Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Tyrese Maxey suffered a sprain of his right fifth finger, the team announced Sunday. He will miss the next two games and will go through further testing on next steps to return.
Maxey suffered the injury during Saturday’s 125-116 loss to the Hawks, exiting in the final minute after racking up 31 points on 12-for-22 shooting along with five assists and four steals.
Tyrese Maxey is down on the ground after going up for a rebound. He's roling around in a lot of pain.
He was holding his arm. He is walking off the court with his hand under his jersey.
