76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Set to receive increased workload
Coach Nick Nurse said Tyrese 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
Tyrese 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 Philadelphia 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.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Likely to return this week
Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is expected to return to action for the Philadelphia 76ers this week, either Wednesday in Memphis or Friday against the Nets in Philadelphia, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN.Maxey has missed Philadelphia's last six games with a right hamstring strain, but the team announced last Friday that the star point guard resumed on-court work. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated early this week, and though the team has yet to provide an official update on his status, Maxey seems to have responded well to the recent increase in activity. Whenever he makes his return to action, Maxey will be playing alongside both Paul George and Joel Embiid for the first time all season. George (left knee bone bruise) and Embiid (left knee injury recovery, three-game suspension) got off to delayed starts to the season before making their debuts earlier this month, with Maxey playing just two games with George and none with Embiid before going down with the hamstring injury.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Won't return Wednesday
Tyrese 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.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Pops for team-high 32 on Monday
Tyrese Maxey closed Monday's 118-116 loss to the Suns with 32 points (12-22 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes.The fifth-year guard topped 30 points for the third time in the last four games, but even with Paul George making his Philadelphia 76ers debut, Maxey didn't get quite enough help to steal a win on the road. Maxey's usage should decline once George is up to speed and Joel Embiid (knee) is back in action as well. However, Maxey has taken full advantage of his spot as Philadelphia's lead dog so far, averaging what would be a career-high 30.2 points per game to begin the 2024-25 campaign.
