The Philadelphia 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey admits the team’s without Joel Embiid for the third game in a row.<\/p>\n

Following a game in Atlanta, Georgia, the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> have more injury concerns on their plate.<\/p>\n

Tyrese Maxey<\/a> is the latest player to deal with a potential setback. Late in the fourth quarter of the Saturday night battle between the Sixers and the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>, Maxey was seen grabbing at his hand, dealing with clear discomfort. The star guard quickly made his way back to the locker room after the game, creating some concern for his health.<\/p>\n

*UPDATE: Tyrese Maxey suffered a sprain of the right fifth finger and is out for the next two games. He will undergo further testing and consultation on next steps, according to Shams Charania of ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

76ers All-Star Tyrese Maxey suffered a sprain of the right fifth finger and is out for the next two games. He will undergo further testing and consultation on next steps.<\/p>\n

Since Maxey\u2019s injury occurred at the end of the game, the star guard wasn\u2019t ruled questionable or out. With the setback happening so suddenly, the head coach Nick Nurse didn\u2019t have any immediate updates.<\/p>\n

\u201cNick Nurse said Tyrese Maxey is undergoing X-rays on his hand. He said that\u2019s the concern,\u201d The Athletic\u2019s Tony Jones reported after the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tyrese Maxey appeared to injure his hand at the end of Sixers-Hawks. <\/p>\n

After undergoing X-rays, Maxey looked to be in good spirits, according to reporters in attendance.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaxey is in the locker room, eating, with no noticeable wrap or anything restrictive on his hand. He is talking with Joel Embiid<\/a> and seems to be in good spirits,\u201d Jones added<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Maxey\u2019s positive mood isn\u2019t any indication of his status moving forward, it\u2019s simply a good sign before the two-time All-Star receives additional testing on his right finger. \u201cNothing conclusive tonight,\u201d Jones finished.<\/p>\n

Maxey wrapped up Saturday\u2019s game with 38 minutes played. He shot 12-22 from the field, going 3-7 from three, and hitting on all four of his free theows. Maxey finished the game with a team-high 31 points. He also added five assists, four steals, and two rebounds to his stat line for the night.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t enough, as the Sixers came up short with a 125-116 loss against the Hawks.<\/p>\n

The Sixers Are In A Tough Spot\"VJ<\/p>\n

Heading into Saturday\u2019s game, the Sixers were already down three starters.<\/p>\n

Joel Embiid has been out and dealing with an oblique strain. Friday\u2019s update from the team confirmed that Embiid would miss at least one more week, ruling him out for four additional games. He has just had two appearances since February 9.<\/p>\n

The Sixers also recently lost the rookie star VJ Edgecombe<\/a> to an abdominal strain. During the Sixers\u2019 March 3 loss against the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>, Edgecombe went down and out without a return. He has missed the Sixers\u2019 previous two games. The team is considering him day-to-day for now.<\/p>\n

Then, there\u2019s Paul George<\/a>. Last month, the veteran forward was hit with a 25-game suspension from the NBA<\/a>. He isn\u2019t expected to return until late March at the earliest.<\/p>\n

After Saturday\u2019s loss, the Sixers dropped to 34-29 on the season. They are eighth in the Eastern Conference, trailing the Miami Heat<\/a> and the Orlando Magic<\/a> by 0.5 games.<\/p>\n

The Sixers will get the day off on Sunday before returning to the court to face the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> on Monday night. Following a 7 PM ET tip against the Cavs, the Sixers will return home to close out their back-to-back set with a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a>. Maxey\u2019s status in those outings can be considered unknown at this time.<\/p>\n
