Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey, a two-time NBA All-Star, will miss at least the next two games due to a sprained right pinkie finger suffered in Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The team announced Maxey will undergo additional tests to determine the length of his absence.

Why it matters

Maxey's injury is a significant blow to the 76ers, who are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference standings and fighting to secure a playoff spot. As the team's leading scorer, Maxey's absence could make it more difficult for the 76ers to maintain their position in the crowded Eastern Conference playoff race.

The details

Maxey suffered the sprained finger in a collision with teammate Adem Bona while going for a loose ball late in Saturday's game against the Hawks. He immediately grabbed his right hand and had to leave the game. The 76ers said Maxey will be consulted after the additional tests to determine a treatment plan, and the team will provide no further update until after their next two games.

• Maxey suffered the sprained finger with 16 seconds remaining in the 76ers' 126-116 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, March 9, 2026.

What’s next

The 76ers will play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, March 11, 2026, and the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, March 12, 2026, without Tyrese Maxey. The team will provide an update on his status after the additional tests are completed.
