76ers' Tyrese Maxey to Miss Two More Games as Playoff Hopes Fade

The All-Star guard's absence extends to 15 games, with Philadelphia on the verge of elimination from the NBA play-in tournament.

Tyrese Maxey will miss at least two more games due to a sprained finger, confirmed by coach Nick Nurse on Friday.
Maxey has been sidelined since March 3, also dealing with a back issue, and his next opportunity to return is March 31 against the New York Knicks.
The 76ers have lost six consecutive games and nine of their last ten, dropping to a 23-50 record this season.
Philadelphia is on the brink of being eliminated from contention for the NBA play-in tournament with nine games remaining.
Despite the team's struggles, Maxey has had a standout season, averaging a career-high 26.3 points and earning his first All-Star selection and the NBA's Most Improved Player award in 2023-24.
