The Sixers have updated their injury report ahead of Sunday’s Sixers-Raptors contest. Tyrese Maxey has been downgraded to questionable, dealing with left hip tightness. If he were to miss tonight’s game, he’d join Joel Embiid, Robert Covington and De’Anthony Melton on the sidelines.
It’s unclear when Maxey sustained this injury, but him taking a night off might be for the best. Since returning from a concussion, Maxey has averaged 38 minutes per contest across 10 games, and over 40 minutes across the last five games alone. Beyond said timeline, the Sixers have leaned heavily on Maxey in Embiid’s absence.
