The 76ers are expected to shut down Maxey (finger) for the rest of the 2024-25 season, a source tells Shams Charania of ESPN.
Maxey hasn't played since March 4 due to a lower back sprain and a sprained right finger. The 76ers have been listing Maxey only with the finger issue on their recent injury reports, but he's still experiencing discomfort during the rehab process and will need further treatment. With the 76ers eliminated from postseason contention and with just six games left on their schedule, the team will be cautious with the 24-year-old and elect to shut him down for the season. 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 also factor into the mix. Maxey should make a full recovery ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, and there's been no mention of him requiring surgery on the finger.
