Tyrese Maxey Cleared for Return Against Knicks After Concussion

The 76ers' All-Star guard is set to play Tuesday, boosting Philadelphia's playoff hopes.

Tyrese Maxey has completed concussion protocol and will be available for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks, following a four-game absence due to a concussion.
The 23-year-old guard, an All-Star for the first time this season, is averaging career highs with 26.0 points, 6.3 assists, and 3.7 rebounds.
Philadelphia has struggled without Maxey, losing three of the four games during his absence, but secured a win against the Knicks on Sunday to improve to 36-28.
The Sixers are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, holding a narrow lead over the Indiana Pacers and aiming to avoid the play-in tournament.
Joel Embiid, the reigning MVP, remains sidelined following meniscus surgery, adding pressure on Maxey's return to bolster the team's playoff chances.
