Tyrese Maxey Out for Season After Finger Injury

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey will miss the remainder of the season after reinjuring his sprained right finger, with a recent MRI confirming the extent of the injury during his attempt to return to play. Despite a career-high season averaging 26.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.3 rebounds, Maxey's injury, along with other setbacks like Joel Embiid's and Paul George's injuries, has contributed to the 76ers' elimination from playoff contention. Maxey is expected to make a full recovery without the need for surgery, as the team focuses on his long-term health. The 76ers, who have been struggling with a series of losses, are now turning their attention to the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery. This decision aligns with a broader strategy for the 76ers to rebuild after a challenging season, as they hope Maxey will return strong next year. The team confirmed this decision prior to their game against the Washington Wizards.
