Tyrese Maxey hit with season-ending finger injury diagnosis
Down two of their stars for the rest of the 2024-25 season, the Philadelphia 76ers are expected to make it three for three amid Tyrese Maxey’s prolonged absence. The star guard’s finger tendon injury may force him to miss the remainder of the season, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
Maxey has not played since March 3, initially getting sidelined because of a back injury that he sustained on a hard fall but continuing to be out because of a finger injury on his right hand that has dogged him for some time now. Charania notes that Maxey “has attempted to rehab the finger, but still is dealing with discomfort and needs treatment.”
Nick Nurse said that Maxey had workouts planned after going through a practice and having issues with his injury afterward. With six games left and out of contention for the postseason, the 76ers are opting to let Maxey recover off the court and prevent further risk of another on-court injury.
