"The All-Star starter was injured in a collision with teammate Adem Bona with 16 seconds left in a loss at Atlanta on Saturday. Maxey immediately grabbed his right hand, tucking it under his jersey as he walked directly to the locker room."
"Coach Nick Nurse said Monday that Maxey underwent X-rays and an MRI that showed there were no broken bones in his hand. But Nurse did say that Maxey would 'see the hand specialists to figure out what's next.'"
"Philadelphia is 33-28 with Maxey -- the only player with 100 steals and 50 blocks this season -- and 1-2 without him."
Tyrese Maxey, the 76ers' All-Star starter, sustained a tendon injury to his right pinkie finger during a collision with teammate Adem Bona with 16 seconds remaining in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday. Initial X-rays and MRI scans ruled out broken bones, but subsequent specialist reviews confirmed the tendon damage. Maxey will undergo re-evaluation in three weeks to determine his return timeline. This marks a repeat injury to the same finger from last season. The 76ers have struggled without Maxey, posting a 1-2 record in his absence, while maintaining a 33-28 record with him. Maxey is having a career year across multiple statistical categories.
