Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with Washington. The All-Star wasn't feeling well on Friday night, so he wasn't in the lineup for the loss to Atlanta. Newly acquired Cameron Payne got the start in that one and had a fantastic debut with his new team, ending with 20 points, six assists, and two steals. Unfortunately, it appears Payne's streaming window was only open for a game, although he could remain a regular part of the rotation, at least until De'Anthony Melton (back) returns. Additionally, with Maxey likely back in the lineup, Tobias Harris, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Buddy Hield, shouldn't see as many scoring opportunities.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) won't play against the Hawks on Friday night. The All-Star isn't feeling well, so fantasy managers hope he gets better in time for Saturday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. Without Maxey, newly acquired Cameron Payne will enter the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deep fantasy setups. At the same time, Buddy Hield, Tobias Harris, and Kelly Oubre Jr. may see a significant uptick on the scoring end.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Maxey was considered questionable earlier in the day due to an illness. Luckily, Maxey was able to get through his pregame routine without any issues and was cleared to suit up. Maxey will be asked to take on a bigger role on offense with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure that Maxey is in their lineups ahead of this game.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Maxey has missed each of the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. Patrick Beverley has been starting lately and that will likely continue to happen if Maxey misses another game. Beverley posted a double-double during his first start in Maxey's absence. However, Beverley has been average since then but still carries some streaming appeal if Maxey sits out on Thursday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) will remain out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. A sprained left ankle will result in a third consecutive absence for Maxey, whose next chance to return comes on Thursday versus the Utah Jazz for the final contest of Philly's five-game road trip. Covering three games without Maxey this year, Patrick Beverley has averaged 19.0 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 triples, and 1.0 steals and remains a solid streaming option in fantasy.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard will miss his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. The absence of Maxey means that Patrick Beverley will likely draw another start. He finished with 17 points, four rebounds, and 11 assists during their last game. He probably won't have a repeat performance, but Beverley is still a viable streaming choice for Monday's slate.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) was unable to play in their last contest against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. He's now listed as questionable for their Monday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers as he continues to deal with the ankle pain. The 23-year-old star has only missed two total games so far but is in danger of missing his third. Since this one is against a weaker opponent, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to hold him out one more game to make sure he completely heals. If he doesn't suit up for the West Coast matchup, Patrick Beverley could move into the starting five again with De'Anthony Melton (back) still out.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old is coming off a 22-point outing on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. However, he could miss Saturday's contest because of a sprained left ankle. With Tobias Harris (illness) also questionable, it's anyone's guess what the starting lineup will look like. But it's reasonable to assume Patrick Beverley would remain with the first five, keeping him in the streaming conversation. Of course, Joel Embiid would likely take on more of the scoring load if Maxey isn't in the equation.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse confirms that guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) practiced on Monday. Maxey joined star teammate Joel Embiid (illness) on the sidelines with an illness as the undermanned Sixers hung in there in last Friday's 125-119 loss to the Boston Celtics, sitting out for the first time this year. Appearing to be feeling better now, Maxey looks to be good to go for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The early odds-on favorite for 2023-24's Most Improved Player Award, Maxey has taken Philly's backcourt reins in the wake of the James Harden trade. The 23-year-old is averaging 27.0 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.3 treys in an NBA-high 38.4 minutes per night, making him a first-round fantasy player. After flirting with a triple-double on Friday, Patrick Beverley is in line for a significantly diminished role in Maxey's return against the Wizards. De'Anthony Melton is also set for decreased usage.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey became the third player this season to drop 50 or more points as he led the team to a 137-126 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. The up-and-coming combo guard finished with exactly 50 points (career high) and chipped in seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and two turnovers while shooting 20-for-32 from the floor and 7-for-11 from deep. He only shot three free throws in this game, so the bulk of his points came from everywhere else on the floor. Maxey has quickly turned into a star during the early goings of this season and he may reach his first ever All-Star game if he continues this level of play.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey hurt his right hand on a heavy fall in Sunday's blowout win against Portland, but it looks like he won't have to miss any time. Philadelphia's rising star battled through the ailment on Sunday to finish with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. "When I fell on the ground, my funny bone," Maxey said of his injury postgame. "The whole side of my hand is a little numb, but I think I'll be OK. Life goes on." The Sixers won't be in action again until Nov. 1, so Maxey will get several days off to recover from the injury. The 22-year-old has been fantastic to kick off the year, averaging 30.3 points per game with 56 percent shooting from deep and posting 6.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey hasn't had the chance to be the lead guard that often since joining the team in 2020. With James Harden still waiting to get dealt, Maxey's value and opportunities have increased tenfold. The up-and-coming star finished the game against the Bucks with 31 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and two steals. He shot 10-for-22, hit three shots from deep, and knocked down eight of his 10 free throws. The best thing about his performance, in terms of his fantasy value this season, was the eight assists with zero turnovers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey had a double-double in Friday's exhibition win over Atlanta. He had 15 points, going 5-for-11 from the field and 3-for-8 from deep while adding 12 assists. The 22-year-old also shined defensively, accruing three steals and a block. Maxey finished the 2022-23 campaign by averaging a career-high 20.3 points. He's expected to be even better this season, and his numbers could improve even more if James Harden finally gets moved during the year. At any rate, Maxey is a must-start fantasy option for Thursday's opener against Milwaukee.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse indicated guard Tyrese Maxey (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Maxey took a presumably precautionary exit from Monday's preseason game after 15 minutes of action against the Brooklyn Nets due to back spasms. The 22-year-old rising star is in line to embrace a crucial role for the Sixers this year, with James Harden's (personal) status still up in the air a week out from the regular season. Maxey may not fill up the box score on a steady basis, but the former first-rounder could receive a mammoth workload in Nurse's system as a strong source of points, threes, and percentages with low turnovers. Maxey should remain a compelling fifth-round fantasy target ahead of Philly's preseason finale on Friday, and as long as Harden is away from the team.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (back) was forced to exit early during Monday's preseason contest against the Brooklyn Nets. He was able to play 15 minutes before exiting the game due to back spasms. The Sixers likely held out Maxey for the rest of the game as a precaution. It sounds like this is a minor injury, but more information should be known soon. For now, fantasy managers should consider Maxey as day-to-day.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said guard Tyrese Maxey "was unbelievable today. He had one of those days where nobody could catch him on anything. He was really providing a lot of juice for his team today." Maxey is entering the 2023-24 year with quite a bit of contingency upside on top of his standalone value, with James Harden's status not yet fully certain. The 22-year-old rising star may be limited defensively but features excellent scoring prowess after averaging 20.3 points on 48.1% field-goal shooting and 2.7 three-pointers on 43.4% shooting from deep across 60 games (41 starts). Maxey is likely to start at the onset of the season, and Nurse is known to rely heavily on his starting unit in terms of minutes. Fantasy managers shouldn't be afraid to draft Maxey in the top 50 as long as Harden's standing remains unclear.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey is seen as a player who should put up 25 points per game next season. NBA skills coach Drew Hanlen, who has worked with the young Sixers guard, noted that he would be "disappointed" if Maxey doesn't average 25 points in 2023-24. Maxey notched a career-high 20.3 points last season, boosting his previous best by nearly three points. He's taken big strides in the league with each season, and the upcoming campaign shouldn't be any different.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey still has faith in the team's ability to compete even if James Harden gets his wish and moves on from the organization ahead of the 2023-24 NBA campaign. "I think with the position that the Sixers are in, we can't ever see a season as 'a wash.' We have talent. We have the reigning MVP on our team," Maxey said on his podcast. "We have to go out there and expect to win. Expect to still try to complete our goal. It'll definitely be even more difficult now that one of our best players has decided he doesn't want to come back and play. That's how life goes." Maxey will definitely have a bigger part to play in the proceedings if Harden indeed leaves town. He upped his scoring output by 4.5 points last season without Harden in the lineup.

According to 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, the franchise will wait before offering a contract extension to guard Tyrese Maxey. While Morey is high on the 2020 first-round pick, "the quirk of the CBA" will allow Philly to add "a significant player next year" before the club turns its attention to him. Maxey averaged a career-high 20.3 points and 43.4% shooting from deep last season, so the team wants to keep him on the roster for a long time. But from a fantasy standpoint, the 22-year-old should be a reliable option for many seasons to come, even though he still has plenty to work on moving forward.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey is set to stay put for the 2023-24 season, with reports saying that the team isn't interested in any trades involving him. "Maxey is not available in any trade conversations, according to one team source, with the Sixers adamant that the speedy guard is a significant part of their future and thus not available any scenarios," writes NBA insider Marc Stein on Substack. The 22-year-old had a fantastic campaign in 2022-23 and looks to take a step further in his development next season. He could end up running the Sixers backcourt all on his own, depending on how things around James Harden and his trade request work out.
