Head coach Nick Nurse said Friday that Maxey (finger) won't play in Saturday's game against the Heat and Sunday's game against the Raptors, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Maxey's absence streak will extend to 15 games due to a sprained right finger, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Knicks. The star point guard was a partial participant during Friday's practice, per Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com, which bodes well for his potential return before the end of the season. Jared Butler and Lonnie Walker (neck) will likely continue to receive an uptick in playing time due to Maxey being sidelined.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Could return before season's end
Rotowire
Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse updated Maxey's status Wednesday, claiming the hope is he'll return before the end of the season, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Maxey will miss a 13th straight game for the 76ers on Wednesday due to back and finger injuries. Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin will likely continue to shoulder the bulk of the load in the backcourt with Maxey still on the mend and no clear timetable for his return to the floor.

Rotowire
Maxey is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards with a right finger sprain.
Maxey has missed 12 straight games due to a back and finger sprain, although he at least appears to be over the former ailment based on Philadelphia's injury report. The star guard's next chance to return comes Saturday against the Heat. In the meantime, the 76ers will continue to depend on the likes of Jared Butler, Jeff Dowtin and Jalen Hood-Schifino for the bulk of the backcourt minutes.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Out again Monday
Rotowire
Maxey (back/finger) will not play Monday against the Pelicans.
Maxey will miss his 12th game in a row as he continues to manage a lower back sprain and a finger sprain. The 76ers haven't offered an indication that Maxey is close to resuming playing, so he looks unlikely to return to action for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Out again Monday
Rotowire
Maxey (back/finger) will not play Monday against the Rockets.
Maxey will be out for an eighth straight game due to a lower back sprain and finger sprain. The 76ers haven't provided a timeline for Maxey's return, and given the team's standing as a non-playoff contender, the point guard could be at risk of missing the remainder of the season.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Maxey (hand/back) is out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Head coach Nick Nurse stated following Friday's game against the Mavericks that Maxey was not expected to suit up Sunday, and that'll indeed be the case, so he'll miss a seventh straight contest. The star guard should be able to return at some point during the team's upcoming six-game road trip, but a specific date for his return has yet to be provided. His next chance to play will come against the Rockets on Monday.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Likely to remain out Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Nick Nurse said after Friday's 112-100 loss to the Pacers that he doesn't expect Maxey (back/finger) to play in Sunday's game against the Mavericks, but the star guard should be able to return at some point during the team's upcoming six-game road trip, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
Maxey missed his sixth straight game Friday while recovering from a lower back sprain and finger sprain and looks on track to remain out Sunday, but he seems to be making progress and could be back in action as soon as Monday in Houston. Until Maxey gains clearance to play, Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin will serve as the 76ers' primary options at point guard.

Rotowire
Maxey (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
Maxey will miss a fourth straight game due to a lower back sprain and finger sprain. The point guard was able to take part in an on-court workout ahead of Sunday's win over the Jazz and may be able to suit up Wednesday in Toronto. In his absence, Lonnie Walker, Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin are candidates for increased roles.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Could return Monday
Rotowire
Head coach Nick Nurse said that Maxey (back/finger) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Though he missed his third straight game in Sunday's 126-122 win over the Jazz, Maxey took part in an on-court workout, a sign that he's making good progress in his recovery from a lower back sprain and finger sprain. The 76ers will presumably reassess Maxey early Monday before making a call on his status shortly before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Day-to-day with back bruise
Rotowire
Head coach Nick Nurse said after Monday's 119-102 loss to the Trail Blazers that the back injury that forced Maxey out of the game in the third quarter isn't considered "too serious," and the point guard will travel with the 76ers for Tuesday's game in Minnesota, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Maxey exited the game with 6:42 remaining in the third quarter, shortly after he took a hard fall. He finished with five points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six assists and one steal in 23 minutes. Nurse said that Maxey has already been checked out by two team doctors who weren't overly concerned about the injury, which is being termed as back contusion. The 76ers will check back in on Maxey's condition early Tuesday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ended up being sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Heads to locker room Monday
Rotowire
Maxey sustained an apparent back injury in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers and required a trip to the locker room, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Maxey appeared to be in a considerable amount of pain following a fall to the court, staying on the ground and grabbing at his back before walking to the locker room. If Maxey is unable to return, Jeff Dowtin and Jared Butler could cover most of the minutes at point guard for the rest of the game.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: High-volume 30-point outing
Rotowire
Maxey finished Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the 76ers with 30 points (12-32 FG, 0-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block over 44 minutes.
Maxey scored 22 points in the second half to reach the 30-point threshold for the 22nd time this season while helping the 76ers briefly retake the lead. However, Maxey missed all 10 of his three-point attempts, perhaps a sign that he is still working through a right finger sprain that caused him to be listed on Monday's injury report, and that will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's game against the Warriors. Maxey has shot 38.1 percent from the field (including 23.5 percent from three on 6.8 3PA/G) over his last five games.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Dealing with finger sprain
Rotowire
Maxey is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls due to a right finger sprain, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Maxey dropped 31 points during the 76ers' 105-103 loss to the Nets on Saturday, but it appears he injured his right finger in the process. He'll likely go through pregame warmups before Monday's game before a decision is made on his availability. Jared Butler would be the top candidate to slide into the starting five if Maxey is not cleared to play.

Rotowire

Coach Nick Nurse said Maxey took knee-to-knee contact during Tuesday's loss to Toronto, but the extent of the injury remains unclear. In Maxey's absence, Jared Butler, Ricky Council and Jeff Dowtin are candidates for increased roles.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Questionable Wednesday
Rotowire
Maxey has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets for an undisclosed reason, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Maxey is coming off arguably his worst performance of the season, finishing with a season-low five points in Tuesday's loss to the Raptors. The 76ers will be shorthanded in the backcourt Wednesday, with Kyle Lowry (hip) and Eric Gordon (wrist) already ruled out. If the up-and-coming guard cannot play against Brooklyn, Philadelphia could turn to Quentin Grimes and Jared Butler to pick up the slack.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Struggles in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Maxey recorded five points (1-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to Toronto.
Maxey entered Tuesday's contest having scored at least 30 points in eight of his last nine outings while shooting 52.6 percent from the field. That hot shooting streak didn't carry over into Tuesday's game, with his lone field goal coming at the 1:49 mark of the fourth quarter. It was a rough outing for Maxey, but he'll have a prime opportunity to turn things around in the second game of the 76ers' back-to-back set Wednesday against the Nets as Joel Embiid will likely sit out in order to manage a lingering left knee injury.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Erupts for game-high 42
Rotowire
Maxey ended with 42 points (15-26 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Friday's 137-134 loss to the Nuggets.
The fifth-year guard racked up 40-plus points for the second time in the last three games and the fourth time in 2024-25. Maxey continues to see sky-high usage while Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (finger) are both sidelined, although either or both could return any day now. Maxey has delivered at least 28 points in 13 straight appearances, averaging 32.3 points, 7.2 assists, 3.6 threes, 3.5 boards and 1.5 steals over that stretch.
