"Maxey injured the finger with less than 30 seconds left in Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He collided with a teammate after going for a steal and immediately grabbed at his right hand in pain. He did not finish the game."
"Maxey will undergo further testing before a treatment plan is established. The Sixers play at Cleveland on Monday before hosting the Grizzlies on Tuesday."
"The Sixers entered Sunday night one loss back of the sixth-seeded Orlando Magic. They have been without Paul George for the last several weeks as he serves a 25-game suspension for violating the league's anti-drug program."
Tyrese Maxey sustained a sprain of his right fifth finger during Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game. The injury occurred when Maxey collided with a teammate while attempting a steal and did not finish the contest. The 76ers announced Maxey will sit out the upcoming back-to-back matchups against Cleveland on Monday and Memphis on Tuesday. Further testing will determine the appropriate treatment plan. The Sixers are currently one loss behind the sixth-seeded Orlando Magic in the standings while managing injuries to multiple key players, including Paul George's 25-game suspension and Joel Embiid's ongoing knee issues that have sidelined him for the last four games.
