Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey has been diagnosed with a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, according to ESPN.
The injury occurred during the 76ers' matchup against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. Following the game, Maxey underwent additional imaging and specialist reviews to determine the severity of the damage to his right hand. Per Shams Charania, the diagnosis confirmed a tendon injury that will sideline the All-Star guard for a significant portion of the remaining regular season. The evaluation process involved multiple images and a thorough review by specialists to confirm the extent of the injury.
The loss of Maxey serves as a significant blow to the Philadelphia rotation. He has been a primary offensive engine for the team this season, and his absence will require the 76ers to lean more heavily on their depth as they push through a critical stretch of the schedule. The team is expected to provide further updates regarding his recovery timeline following his re-evaluation in three weeks.
