Tyrese Maxey Returns To Philadelphia Lineup On Thursday
Tyrese Maxey (hip) will rejoin the action on Thursday versus Miami. He has shaken off a questionable tag and will be back after missing two games with a hip problem. Maxey has carried a heavy load in previous matchups against the Heat in 2023-24, averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists in 41.3 minutes. On Thursday, he will be getting extra help from Joel Embiid (knee), who's yet to face the reigning Eastern Conference champions this season.

Tyrese Maxey Expected To Miss Rest Of Season
Tyrese Maxey (finger) will miss the rest of the 2024-25 season. Maxey has been out of action since March due to a sprained right finger. The Sixers are being cautious shutting down Maxey with only six games left on their schedule since he is still dealing with discomfort. The 24-year-old joins Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (groin), and Jared McCain (knee), who are already out for the remainder of the season. Lonnie Walker, Quentin Grimes, and Jared Butler will continue to see an uptick in minutes down the stretch.

Tyrese Maxey Remains Out Against Knicks
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 To Miss At Least Two More Games
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.

Tyrese Maxey Progressing
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.
