Tyrese Maxey Injury Update: February 12 vs. the Nets

UPDATE: Maxey has been ruled out.

Tyrese Maxey ($9,800) was not on the injury report heading coming into Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, but was downgraded to questionable late in the afternoon due to a right knee contusion.

Maxey played 34 minutes on Tuesday and there’s been no mention of when the injury took place. He shot 1-for-9 on Tuesday and the 76ers don’t play again until next Thursday, so it’s a good time to take a break.

Joel Embiid has already been ruled out for Wednesday.

If Maxey is unable to go, then Jared Butler would likely see an uptick in minutes, while either he or Quentin Grimes would enter the starting lineup. Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. would also see upticks in usage rate.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
