The Philadelphia 76ers announced that All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey will be sidelined for at least three weeks due to a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger. Maxey, who was voted an All-Star starter by the fans, is averaging 29 points and 6.7 assists per game this season. The 76ers are already without Joel Embiid and Paul George, leaving them shorthanded as they fight to remain in the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

Why it matters

The 76ers have struggled mightily when their top stars have been out, posting a -19.6 net rating this season when none of the three are on the court. With Maxey now joining Embiid and George on the sidelines, Philadelphia could fall into the back half of the play-in tournament and have to win two games just to make the playoffs.

The details

Maxey's injury occurred with 16.2 seconds left in the 76ers' loss to the Hawks, when he collided with teammate Adem Bona and instantly grabbed his right hand in pain. The 76ers announced that Maxey suffered a "tendon injury to the small finger on his right hand" and will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.

  • Maxey's injury occurred on March 10, 2026.
  • Maxey will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.
