Maxey (finger) is expected to miss the rest of the 2024-25 season, Shams Charania of ESPN reported Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Maxey has been out since March 4 with a sprained right finger and is still dealing with discomfort despite ongoing rehab. With the 76ers eliminated from postseason contention and just six games left on the schedule, the team is being cautious with the 24-year-old and electing to shut him down for the season, joining Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (groin) and Jared McCain (knee). Quentin Grimes, Lonnie Walker and Jared Butler have been handling most of the backcourt minutes recently, but Kyle Lowry returned to game action Tuesday following a lengthy absence and could play a significant role down the stretch. Maxey should make a full recovery ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, and there's been no mention of surgery yet.

Coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday that Maxey (finger) practiced Friday and continues to work out but is considered day-to-day moving forward, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maxey hasn't played since March 3 due to a right finger sprain but appears to be nearing a return to action. However, with Philadelphia currently sitting at 13th in the Eastern Conference, it remains to be seen if they will risk the health of their star guard by having him return before the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Head coach Nick Nurse said Friday that Maxey (finger) won't play in Saturday's game against the Heat and Sunday's game against the Raptors, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maxey's absence streak will extend to 15 games due to a sprained right finger, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Knicks. The star point guard was a partial participant during Friday's practice, per Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com, which bodes well for his potential return before the end of the season. Jared Butler and Lonnie Walker (neck) will likely continue to receive an uptick in playing time due to Maxey being sidelined.
