Tyrese Maxey (finger) will be out for a 16th straight game on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. Last week, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse suggested that Maxey is expected to return to action this season. However, he has not been cleared for Tuesday's contest. Following Tuesday's action, Philadelphia will have six more games scheduled, starting with Thursday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jared Butler has started most games at point guard in recent weeks, although he could face extra competition for playing time on Tuesday, as
Kyle Lowry (hip) has been upgraded to questionable.

Tyrese Maxey (finger) is set to miss at least two more games. On Friday, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse stated that Maxey would not be available this weekend against the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors. However, Maxey was a partial participant in Friday's practice, which suggests that he could be ready to rejoin the action soon. Due to a finger sprain, Maxey has been unavailable for 13 games.
Jared Butler and
Jeff Dowtin Jr. have shared point guard duties during Maxey's absence.

1 week agoAccording to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, Philadelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (finger) has been working out. He's currently wearing a splint on his injured right finger, with the ailment keeping him off the floor for Philadelphia's previous 12 games. Despite the 76ers' disastrous year, Maxey has thrived, averaging a career-high 26.3 points with 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.8 steals. Nurse added he hopes Maxey will play in Philly's "final games" of the 2024-25 campaign. However, fantasy managers may not see him back in the lineup until next season. In the meantime,
Jared Butler should continue to fill in at the one, with
Quentin Grimes anticipated to benefit the most on the scoring end.

Tyrese Maxey (back, finger) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Houston Rockets. The star guard is dealing with injuries to his back and finger, missing an eighth consecutive game. Maxey's next chance to return will be on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, Philadelphia is unlikely to rush him back, as there is nothing left to play for this season.
Jared Butler and
Jeff Dowtin Jr. will continue to split minutes at the point guard position in Monday's game.
