Tyrese Maxey Remains Out for 76ers Against Rockets

Philadelphia 76ers' star guard Tyrese Maxey will miss his ninth consecutive game due to ongoing back and finger injuries, further complicating the team's efforts as they continue their six-game road trip. Head coach Nick Nurse has hinted at the possibility of Maxey returning during the trip, but he remains sidelined for the matchup against the Houston Rockets. The 76ers have struggled in his absence, posting a 2-5 record while dealing with multiple injuries across their roster. Despite Maxey's setbacks, there are no current plans to shut him down for the season. The injury report also includes other key players such as Joel Embiid and Paul George, who are out for their respective teams. The 76ers' next game is against the Oklahoma City Thunder, where they hope to improve their standing in the playoff race.
