"No breaks. Now, he's got to see the hand specialists to figure out what's next. He seems OK and his spirits are good. He wants to be back, but he's got to see these people before we take the next step."
"Maxey, who leads the NBA with 1,767 total points, underwent X-rays and an MRI that showed there were no broken bones in his hand. The sixth-year pro already had been ruled out through Tuesday, when Philadelphia hosts Memphis."
"Maxey sprained the same pinky last season, which the coach admitted adds to the concern factor. He is averaging career highs of 29 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 61 games for the 76ers."
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey sustained a sprained right pinkie finger during a collision with teammate Adem Bona in Saturday's loss to Atlanta. Medical imaging including X-rays and MRI confirmed no fractures in his hand. Maxey, the NBA's leading scorer with 1,767 points, has been ruled out through Tuesday's game against Memphis. Coach Nick Nurse noted concern given Maxey's previous pinkie sprain last season. Maxey will consult with hand specialists before determining his return status. Despite the injury, Maxey maintains positive spirits and expresses desire to return to play.
