    76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Near double-double vs. Washington

    Maxey provided 28 points (12-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 153-131 victory over the Wizards.

    Maxey didn't have the most efficient night from three-point range, but he was scoring effectively inside the arc and finished as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Paul George (39 points). Maxey was one assist shy from logging his eighth double-double of the season (and first since Feb. 26), but he has dished out at least eight dimes in each of his three outings since returning from a 10-game absence due to a finger injury. Since his return, the two-time All-Star has averaged 25.7 points, 8.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 threes over 40.3 minutes per game.

  • Warriors' Nate Williams: Starting vs. San Antonio

    Williams will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    With the Warriors being very shorthanded in the first leg of this back-to-back set, the two-way player will make his first start since the 2022-23 campaign with Portland. He's averaging 6.2 points and 1.8 rebounds across 13.3 minutes per tilt in 11 regular-season games thus far, though he should see a significant uptick in minutes against San Antonio.

  • Will Richard PG | GS

    Warriors' Will Richard: Starting Wednesday

    Richard will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    The Warriors will be without several key contributors Wednesday, so the rookie second-rounder will rejoin the first unit following a one-game absence due to left heel soreness. As a starter this season (20 games), Richard has averaged 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 24.3 minutes per game.

  • L.J. Cryer PG | GS

    Warriors' LJ Cryer: Draws first career start Wednesday

    Cryer will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    The Warriors will be extremely shorthanded in the front end of this back-to-back set, opening the door for Cryer to make his first career start. The rookie guard has averaged 7.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 19.2 minutes per game over his last five outings, though he's likely to see a significant uptick in playing time Wednesday.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Hawks' Jock Landale: Exits early Wednesday

    Landale won't return to Wednesday's game against the Magic due to a right ankle sprain, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. He'll finish with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes.

    Goga Bitadze pulled Landale down on a shot attempt near the rim, and the big man landed awkwardly on his right leg before walking to the locker room under his own power. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game against the Nets.
