Overview

  • Maxey injured his right fifth finger after colliding with teammate Adem Bona with about 16 seconds left in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks and left the court holding his hand.
  • The team said he will undergo additional testing and consultation to determine a treatment plan, with no further update expected until after games against the Cavaliers and Grizzlies.
  • Philadelphia also remains without Joel Embiid due to a right oblique strain and Paul George due to a 25-game suspension, thinning the rotation for the Cleveland-to-Philadelphia back-to-back.
  • The two-time All-Star is averaging about 29.0 points and 6.7 assists while leading the NBA in minutes, and he is four games shy of the 65-game awards threshold.
  • The sprain is to the same pinky Maxey injured last season; he had X-rays after the game and was seen in the locker room but declined to speak with reporters.
