• 76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Set to receive increased workload

  11H ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Nick Nurse said Maxey will play more minutes in Friday's game versus the Nets than he did in Wednesday's game against Memphis, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Maxey is set to play his second straight contest Friday after missing six games with a hamstring injury. While the star guard is set to play more than the 20 minutes he logged against Memphis, it will likely take him a few more games to fully work back up to his season average of 37.1 minutes per contest.

• 76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Struggles in return from injury

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Maxey (hamstring) ended with eight points (3-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 loss to the Grizzlies. Cleared to return from a six-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, Maxey showcased some expected rust while he also operated under a minutes restriction. Though Maxey didn't pay dividends for those that chose to activate him right away, fantasy managers should expect better days ahead for the young point guard as he becomes further removed from the injury and as his minutes ramp up. He should have his minute restriction loosened a bit in the 76ers' next game Friday versus the Nets, and he could also notice a slight bump in his 32.6 percent usage rate from Wednesday after Paul George left the game with a hyperextended knee. George is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, after which the 76ers should have a better idea regarding how much time he might miss.

  Maxey has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to right hamstring soreness, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. He'll finish with 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes. Maxey was replaced by Jared McCain to start the fourth quarter, and it's now known he's dealing with hamstring soreness. Per Aaronson, Philadelphia coach Nick Nurse called Maxey's removal "precautionary" and didn't seem concerned about the injury. The 24-year-old has been utilized heavily to start the season as Paul George and Joel Embiid (knee/suspension) were unavailable, averaging 41 minutes per game prior to Wednesday's tilt. McCain and Kyle Lowry figure to see a bump in playing time while Maxey is sidelined. Maxey's next chance to play will come Friday against the Lakers.
