Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey will be sidelined for at least three weeks due to a tendon injury in the small finger of his right hand. Maxey suffered the injury during a collision with teammate Adem Bona in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. He is currently averaging 29.0 points and 6.7 assists per game for the 76ers, who are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Why it matters

Maxey's injury is a significant blow to the 76ers, who are already dealing with injuries to other key players like Joel Embiid and Paul George. The team is struggling to maintain its position in the playoff race, and Maxey's absence will make it even more difficult to win games and secure a postseason berth.

The details

Maxey injured his finger during the final 16 seconds of Saturday's game against the Hawks. He will be evaluated again in three weeks, and if he returns at that time, he would miss around seven regular-season games. However, if he doesn't return in three weeks, he would fall four games short of qualifying for the year-end NBA Awards.

  • Maxey suffered the injury on March 10, 2026.
  • He will be evaluated again on March 31, 2026.
