Nick Nurse provided a promising outlook on Tyrese Maxey’s injury after the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.

Maxi suffered an injury in the last minute of the game. The star guard injured his hand with 16 seconds remaining, raising questions about his availability for the next few games.

Nurse reflected on the events after the game via SixersWire. He knows how important it will be to deal with their injuries, including Maxi’s situation.

“Apparently, it’s huge, right?” the nurse told reporters. “Especially with what we’re going through right now, with some guys being out, and obviously, he’s just another key player, but we’ll see. We’ll see. I won’t make any decisions or think about it until we find out for sure.”

“You don’t want something like this to happen,” the nurse concluded. “Guys often get hit hands, jammed fingers and all kinds of things. So, let’s hope that’s the case.”

Nick Nurse, how the 76ers performed against the Hawks

Nick Nurse and the 76ers will have to make their case if Tyrese Maxey misses time with a hand injury. Their 125-116 loss to the Hawks didn’t help matters either.

Four players, including Maxey, scored in double figures for Philadelphia in the loss. Before the injury, he finished with a stat line of 31 points, five assists, four steals and two rebounds. He made 12 of 22 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 from beyond the arc and 4 of 4 from the free-throw line. Quentin Grimes came next with 26 points and six rebounds, Kelly Oubre Jr. put up 24 points and five rebounds, while Trendon Watford added 10 points and two assists.

Philadelphia fell to a 34–29 record on the season, and finished eighth in the Eastern Conference standings. They are above the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets, while falling behind the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic.

The 76ers will look to bounce back in their next game by remaining on the road. They will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 9, tip-off at 7 PM ET.

Kelly Oubre Jr. witnessed disaster during the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to Atlanta. He saw Tyrese Maxi go down in fashion. And Oubre gave a unique account of Maxi’s NBA injury.

Oubre described the moment, via NBC Sports Philadelphia, as “as if there was a car accident right in front of you.” “Two big fast men going at each other.

Aubrey then closed his eyes and “said a little prayer” for his fallen comrade. But he is confident that Maxi will make a comeback.

“He’s a resilient guy,” Oubre said.

When Maxi went down hard, he collided with the Hawks’ Adem Bona. The 76ers star held his arm in pain before heading back inside the locker room.

76ers insider Tony Jones of The Athletic reveals where the talent was hurt.

“I’ve been told additional testing will be done tomorrow on Tyrese Maxey’s right finger. Nothing conclusive tonight,” Jones posted on the social media website X, formerly known as Twitter.

Maxi managed to stay ahead of all 76ers scorers in terms of points. Quentin Grimes followed him with 26 points in 41 minutes. Meanwhile, Oubre dropped 24 points in a span of 36 minutes. He also gave four assists.

But as the race for the NBA playoffs heated up, Philadelphia suffered a crucial loss to Atlanta. The Hawks improved to 33-31 overall and are now one game behind the current No. 8 team, the Sixers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey continues his progression as one of the NBA’s deadliest players, and at the rate he’s progressing, he may find himself rewriting the record books.

The 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 114-98 on Sunday at TD Garden. Nevertheless, Maxi once again performed exceptionally well and scored a game-high 33 points. He also had three rebounds, six assists and two blocks.

In the fourth quarter, he made a fallaway jumper to keep them safe. In the process, he also reached an impressive feat. he did his calculations 65th game With at least 30 points and five assists, he surpassed 76ers legend Wilt Chamberlain for fourth most in team history.

Whenever you surpass Chamberlain on any list, you know you’re doing something excellent.

Chamberlain, who led Philadelphia to a title in 1967, was very talented in his heyday. Maxi would be honored to know that he has succeeded the late Hall of Famer.

The 25-year-old Maxi had to carry the heavy load for the 76ers against the Celtics, as Joel Embiid sat out again with an oblique injury. Embiid has already missed 27 games this season.

Maxey received support from VJ Edgecombe, who recorded 23 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Andre Drummond, who started in Embiid’s place, contributed 10 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals. However, their efforts were not enough to overthrow the Celtics.

Philadelphia’s three-game winning streak was snapped and it dropped to 33–27, while Boston improved to 40–20.

The Sixers will take on the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.

After teaming up for Team Stars in the All-Star Game, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards are back on opposite sides.

Maxi made sure to remind Edwards about it on Sunday.

When Maxi moved into the lane he clearly had bad intentions.

While the 25-year-old guard is more known for his speed and explosiveness, he can definitely throw it down.

Edwards, who has quite a collection of posters, must appreciate Maxi’s fearless jam.

X fans certainly did.

“He bounced like gravity had forgotten him,” said @LinLyn99.

@shydyor said, “Maxi attacking multiple defenders? Bad.”

At this point, one could argue that Maxey is now the 76ers’ most important player, as Joel Embiid struggles with his health. Maxi has been performing consistently since his second year out.

The backcourt pairing of Maxey with VJ Edgecombe has given Philadelphia a more dynamic and high-octane attack than relying mostly on Embiid.

Maxi had 39 points, three rebounds, eight assists and two steals.

Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker revealed that while the 3-Point Contest invite surprised him last weekend, he couldn’t escape the OG label from others, including first-time All-Star Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Booker, 29, was the elder statesman of Team USA stars, among his fifth selections at the star-studded event.

For this, seeing Booker on the same team as him came as a surprise For Holmgren.

“Is that Devin Booker? On the young team? He could stretch it out a few years,” Holmgren said.

76ers All-Star Tyrese Maxey gave Booker the same treatment.

“How are you, old man?” Maxey said, to which Booker resigned from being one of the older players on the All-Star Game team.

“I’m the old man here, huh?” Booker said. “That’s madness.”

Chet Holmgren: “Is that Devin Booker? On the young team? He could stretch it out a few years.”

In the end, Team USA Stars, including Chet Holmgren and Tyrese Maxey, defeated Team USA Stripes. Nevertheless, this was possibly the first time that Booker was the oldest player on his team.

Devin Booker hints at retirement from 3-point contest

Suns All-Star Devin Booker fell three points short of winning this year’s 3-Point Contest, losing in the final round as he missed his final three shots that could have crowned him champion. The Blazers’ Damian Lillard won with a final score of 29 to Booker’s 27, despite having the highest score in the final round (30).

According to Duane Rankin of AZ Central, after losing by two points, Booker talked about the 2026 3-Point Contest, which would potentially be the last contest he will participate in.

“It hurt a little bit. I wanted it so bad. I wish I was defending it in Phoenix, but if I get an invite it’ll probably be the last time next year. I’m looking forward to it,” Booker said, according to Duane Rankin of AZ Central, formerly of AZ Central, on Twitter.

Lillard, who missed a game due to his Achilles injury, brought the trophy back to Portland.

On Sunday evening, NBA All-Star weekend concluded with the big game (or games in this case) at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Among those who kicked off the event was Philadelphia 76ers star guard Tyrese Maxey, who is enjoying a great 2025-26 season so far this year.

This was Maxi’s second All-Star nomination of his career, having previously returned to the team in 2024, and recently, the difference the star saw between this time and his first outing was 100% real.

According to Gina Mizell of the Enquirer, Maxi said, “I feel very little out of place.” “[Two years ago, I] Was nervous. This is your first time. You don’t know when to talk, when not to talk. Now I go into my team’s locker room, I was the second oldest guy. “I played against guys who were like that growing up, and it was really fun to be in the locker room.”

In fact, Maxey has played a veteran role not only in the All-Star Game, but also on the 76ers, serving as a mentor to rookie sensation VJ Edgecombe so far this year.

Maxey and Edgecomb have teamed up to create one of the most explosive backcourts anywhere in the NBA, destroying opposing defenses with his lightning speed and ability to make tough shots from the perimeter.

Maxey and the 76ers will be hoping that Joel Embiid is able to stay at least somewhat healthy during the 2025-26 season, and Paul George is able to return to form after serving the remainder of his 25-game suspension.

If things like that happen, and Maxey and Edgecombe continue their torrid pace from the first half of the year, the 76ers won’t be an opponent anyone will want to see come playoff time.

The 76ers next face off on Thursday evening at home against the Atlanta Hawks.
