The Milwaukee Bucks try to climb out of the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, and face the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. Is Giannis playing?
A report by ESPN's Shams Charania came out on Thursday that the expectation was that Maxey would be out for the rest of the season. However, coach Nick Nurse hasn't heard that.
The thumb issue clearly affected his shooting, as he connected on only 32.4% of his field-goal attempts and went 9-of-43 from three-point range in his final seven games played.
Tyrese Maxey will remain out with his right finger sprain when the Sixers host the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, according to the team's initial injury report for the game issued on Wednesday. Naturally, the report includes quite a few other established NBA pieces, too:
Nick Nurse said he hadn't heard if the 76ers had ruled Tyrese Maxey out for the season despite reports they had.
Philadelphia is looking to break its 4-game home losing streak with a win over Milwaukee. Thursday's meeting is the first of the season for the two teams.
Maxey becomes the latest high-profile player to suffer a season-ending injury for the last-place Sixers (23-53), who have also lost Joel Embiid, Paul George, veteran Eric Gordon and rookie Jared McCain.
