As the Philadelphia 76ers get set to take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday on the second night of a back-to-back, they will once again be a bit short-handed with Joel Embiid sidelined for yet another night, but they will at least have star guard Tyrese Maxey.
After being listed as probable while dealing with a right quad contusion, Maxey will be in the lineup against the Bucks. It’s a good thing, too, because Philadelphia will need his scoring ability against this Milwaukee team in an effort to come away with a win on the road under tough circumstances due to the schedule.

Maxey will be joined in the starting lineup by VJ Edgecombe, Justin Edwards, Paul George, and Andre Drummond.
The Sixers and the Bucks will tip off at 8 p.m. EST with Philadelphia looking to get back in the win column following the loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
