Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey will miss at least two upcoming games due to a sprained right pinkie finger sustained during Saturday’s loss to Atlanta. The All-Star player injured his finger in a collision with teammate Adem Bona while pursuing a loose ball in the game’s final moments.
Philadelphia 76ers star point guard Tyrese Maxey faces at least a two-game absence after sustaining a finger injury during Saturday’s contest against the Atlanta Hawks, according to team officials who made the announcement on Sunday.
The injury occurred when Maxey collided with teammate Adem Bona while both players pursued a loose ball during the closing moments of Philadelphia’s 126-116 defeat. With just 16 seconds left on the clock, Maxey hurt his right pinkie and was seen clutching his hand immediately following the incident. Following the game, head coach Nick Nurse indicated that X-rays would be taken to assess the extent of the damage.
Team officials stated Sunday that further medical evaluations will be conducted before determining Maxey’s treatment approach. The organization plans to withhold additional updates until after completing their upcoming road matchup against Cleveland on Monday evening and their home contest versus Memphis on Tuesday night.
Before suffering the injury, the two-time All-Star had delivered an outstanding performance, scoring a team-high 31 points against Atlanta. This season, Maxey has emerged as Philadelphia’s top offensive weapon, averaging 29 points per contest, which places him fourth league-wide in scoring. He also contributes 6.7 assists and two steals per game.
Currently holding a 34-29 record, the 76ers occupy the eighth position in the Eastern Conference standings as of Sunday, maintaining a 1.5-game advantage over the ninth-seeded Hawks.
