Exceptional in the first half last night, Tyrese Maxey unfortunately could not finish the match against the Bucks, the fault of a bad sore ankle. The Sixers nugget will undergo examinations this Saturday to determine the severity of the injury.
Philadelphia clearly didn’t need that.
While James Harden is already in the infirmary and Tobias Harris could not participate in the match against Milwaukee because of a sore hip, so it was Maxey who joined the ranks of the injured last night. At the end of the first half, when he was on fire with 24 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in 21 minutes, the Sixers guard saw his ankle turn on contact with the foot of Jevon Carter.
Tyrese Maxey left tonight’s game with a left foot injury
—Looked like lateral ankle sprain
—Concern would be for midfoot sprain

The kind of image that we are unfortunately used to seeing in basketball. As a result, Tyrese had to leave his teammates for the rest of the game, and all of Philly is now waiting for the MRI results to come.
What is reassuring is that the first examinations carried out immediately after its release revealed nothing broken at the level of the ankle / foot. But the more advanced MRI will really determine the nature of Maxey’s injury. We obviously cross our fingers at the Sixers, because a prolonged absence would cause quite a chill on the band to Joel Embiid just after his XXL success against the Bucks.
