Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Doc Rivers said he spoke to Tyrese Maxey at halftime: “He says what he always says, ‘Coach, I’m good.’ But I don’t know if he’ll be good right away, would be my guess.” Doc reiterated that Maxey will get an MRI on Saturday. – 11:14 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Georges Niang says Tyrese Maxey was smiling and eating popcorn in the locker room after the game tonight.
Says Maxey was “happy as heck” that the team won. – 10:44 PM

Tyrese Maxey is leaving the locker room in a boot. – 10:29 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Doc Rivers says that Tyrese Maxey is currently in a boot and waiting on an MRI tomorrow on his left foot. Rivers says that Maxey says “he’s fine”, but Rivers cautions that he’s not sure he’ll be fine right away. – 10:24 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Doc Rivers said Tyrese Maxey is in a boot, and the team is waiting for tomorrow’s MRI to know more about his status. Anticipates it will be a bit before Maxey is back on the court again, but won’t know for sure until tomorrow. – 10:23 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Doc Rivers doesn’t have much of an update on Tyrese Maxey. Just that he will have an MRI tomorrow and he’s in a boot. #Sixers10:23 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Rivers says Maxey is currently wearing a boot while they wait for further evaluation on him tomorrow – 10:23 PM

Tyrese Maxey is in a boot, according to Doc Rivers. – 10:23 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Doc Rivers says he doesn’t have any update on Maxey’s foot. Confirms MRI tomorrow. – 10:22 PM
Tyrese Maxey @TyreseMaxey
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!! – 10:19 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Finding a way to win that one after losing Maxey at halftime is pretty impressive. Awesome Embiid late, small contributions from a bunch of guys to get them to that point: phillyvoice.com/instant-observ…10:16 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Final: Sixers win 110-102, despite not having Harden (full game) or Maxey (2nd half). Sixers have now won 4 straight at home, including wins over the Suns (9-5), Hawks (9-6), Jazz (10-6) and Bucks (11-4).
The win takes the Sixers (8-7) above .500 for the first time this season. – 10:11 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Final: Sixers 110, Bucks 102.
Philly gets over .500 for the first time this season behind 32-11-8 from Joel Embiid, but now waits to see what the status of Tyrese Maxey’s foot is.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 and 14 for Milwaukee but went 4-for-15 from the foul line. – 10:11 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
FINAL: Sixers 110, Bucks 102. Gritty, gritty victory for the Sixers, who were already without Harden and Harris and played the second half without Maxey. Embiid with 32-11-8. Niang (17 points) and Milton (15 and 7) were huge off the bench.
Up next: Tomorrow vs. Minnesota. – 10:10 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
We’ll see what happens with Tyrese Maxey, but that is a super gutty Sixers win. They beat Milwaukee 110-102 and improve to 8-7 on the season. – 10:10 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Two straight buckets by Joel Embiid, followed by a slick pass to Shake Milton, have the Sixers up nine with 1:47 to go and Embiid cupping his hands to his ears to soak in the cheers from the crowd.
Philly is on its way to a win – and a long wait for Tyrese Maxey’s MRI tomorrow. – 10:07 PM
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
ESPN story on Tyrese Maxey’s looming left foot MRI on Saturday: es.pn/3tK13bO9:49 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
The Sixers are, somewhat improbably, up 89-84 at the end of three, outscoring Milwaukee 34-22 in the third despite not having Maxey or Harden to run the point. Georges Niang with a big quarter, and he’s now up to 14 points on 5-9 shooting. Milton with 9/5 running the point. – 9:37 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
After trailing by 7 at halftime, an impressive full-team effort from the @Philadelphia 76ers. They lead, 89-84, after Q3.
Embiid and Maxey* (*will not return) have 24 apiece.
Niang: 14 PTS
Milton: 9 PTS / 5 AST
House: 9 PTS 2 REB
Melton: 7 PTS / 5 REB / 4 AST – 9:37 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
After 3: Sixers 89, Bucks 84.
Impressive third from Philly, which managed to outscore Milwaukee 34-22 with Tyrese Maxey out with a left foot injury.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has 23 and 11, but is 4-for-13 from the line. – 9:37 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
Was the instant rule out of Tyrese Maxey a response to allowing James Harden to log 30+ minutes on his severely sprained foot? Or genuine concern on the part of the org. ? Or both? – 9:30 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Doc Rivers called the Sixers’ guard play “limited” BEFORE the Maxey injury. Now it’s…yeesh. – 9:05 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Maxey will get an MRI on Saturday. – 9:03 PM
Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Tyrese Maxey officially out for the rest of the game with a “left foot injury,” Sixers say. – 9:03 PM
Justin Grasso @JGrasso_
According to a #Sixers official, Tyrese Maxey suffered a left foot injury. He will not return to the game – 9:02 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers say Maxey’s injury is to his left foot. He will not return to the game. Sixers play again tomorrow vs. Minnesota. – 9:02 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Maxey won’t return – 9:02 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
The Sixers say Maxey is out for the rest of the game with a left foot injury. – 9:02 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Shake Milton is out there to start the 2nd half in place of Tyrese Maxey who will miss the rest of the game #Sixers9:00 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
Cassidy Hubbarth said Tyrese Maxey is “currently getting an MRI.” And out for the game. – 9:00 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Shake Milton starting in place of Maxey at the start of the second half. – 8:59 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Tyrese Maxey is not starting the second half. Sixers guard play the rest of the way is going to be, um, interesting. – 8:59 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
No Maxey to start the second half, still no word on him from the team yet.
Looks like Shake will start in his place. – 8:59 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Bucks up 62-55 at the half. Maxey has 24 points and a (looked like) sprained ankle, the latter of which is far more important. No word yet on his status for the rest of the game. Embiid has 13 on 5-12 shooting. Bucks still shooting over 50% (52.1%) from the field and 8-17 from 3. – 8:45 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Bucks 62, Sixers 55.
Giannis has 15-9-3 to lead Milwaukee, while Tyrese Maxey – who was sensational in the first half – had 24-4-5 on 9-12 shooting before leaving late in the half with a left leg injury. – 8:45 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Bucks 62, Sixers 55. Sixers fell behind by as many as 13 but got back into it because of Maxey’s stellar half (24-4-5) and hot three-point shooting. Maxey appeared to tweak his ankle/foot at the end of the half, however, so we’ll see if he returns. – 8:45 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
Korkmaz, Harden, Harris out, Maxey, rolled an ankle. Sixers need 2 weeks off. – 8:43 PM

Shake Milton took a foul to get Maxey out of the game. Maxey going right to the locker room. Very solemn atmosphere as soon as Maxey didn’t just simply walk it off. – 8:42 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
That’s the last thing the Sixers need: Tyrese Maxey turned his left ankle pretty bad on that drive to the hoop and then headed back to the locker room.
Spectacular half from him: 24 points on 9-12 shooting and 5 assists. Kept the Sixers within striking distance all half. – 8:42 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Tyrese Maxey let out a “God damn” as he hopped up the ramp on his left leg. He shot his free throws, but then checked out of the game and went straight back to Philadelphia’s locker room. He’ll be done for at least the first half. – 8:42 PM
Justin Grasso @JGrasso_
Tyrese Maxey heads back to the locker room. Was clearly in a lot of pain #Sixers8:42 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Tyrese Maxey went right to the locker room after his free throws – he sort of hopped up the first section of seats after turning his ankle on that play headed to the basket. – 8:42 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Tyrese Maxey is off to the locker room after appearing to twist his left ankle. He was clearly in pain after that play. #Sixers8:42 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Maxey went back to the locker room with 1:34 left in the half. – 8:42 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Maxey clearly in pain as he ran/limped up the steps behind the basket. He’s had a tremendous half, with 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. – 8:41 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Maxey appeared to twist his left ankle. – 8:41 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Tyrese Maxey is really limping after being fouled on that last layup attempt. Seems to be favoring his left ankle. He’s headed to the line, and I don’t see a sub ready to check in, but something to monitor. – 8:41 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Maxey just ran up the middle of the fan section under the Sixers’ basket with a pretty significant limp and screamed in frustration. Still has a pretty pronounced limp. – 8:41 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Maxey pretty animated as he tries to limp off the pain following that foul. Some four-letter words not suitable for broadcast have been yelled. – 8:41 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Tyrese Maxey putting together another unreal first half:
18 PTS / 7-10 fg / 2-3 3fg / 5 AST
(with 5 mins til halftime) – 8:30 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Maxey is single-handedly keeping the Sixers in striking distance. He’s up to 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including a couple nice makes off the bounce. – 8:22 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
After 1: Bucks 33, Sixers 24.
Predictably, Philly is getting most of its offense from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey (combined 17 points). Giannis had 11 and 5 to lead the Bucks, who are shooting 59 percent from the field (including 5-for-9 from 3). – 8:17 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Sixers down 34-24 at the end of 1. Giannis (11) and Bobby Portis (9) lead the way for Milwaukee, with Maxey (10) and Embiid (7) doing the bulk of the work for the Sixers. Milwaukee’s shooting 59.1% from the field and 5-9 from 3, and have allowed the Sixers to grab just 1 o-board. – 8:16 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Bucks 34, Sixers 24 at the end of the first. Bucks shot nearly 60 percent from the floor and 5-of-9 from deep. Bucks also have a 12-6 rebounding advantage on the undersized Sixers. Maxey has 10-2-2. Giannis with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting and 5 boards. – 8:15 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Tyrese Maxey is gifted three free throws by George Hill with a tenth of a second left. He makes two, so the #Bucks lead 34-24 after one in Philadelphia. – 8:15 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
George Hill just committed one of the dumber fouls you’ll ever see, running right into Tyrese Maxey on a heave 3 at the end of the first quarter. Gifted Philly 3 points. – 8:13 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Tobias Harris will not play tonight because of left hip soreness.
Starters:
Maxey, Melton, House, Tucker and Embiid. – 7:04 PM

More on this storyline

Emerging Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey suffered a left foot injury and sat out the second half of Friday night’s 110-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Wells Fargo Center. X-rays on Maxey’s foot were negative, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, and the team said an MRI has been set for Saturday. Head coach Doc Rivers added that Maxey was already wearing a walking boot after the game. -via ESPN / November 19, 2022
“[Maxey] said what he always says: ‘Coach, I’m good,'” Rivers said. “But, you know, I don’t know if he’ll be good right away, would be my guess.” Maxey suffered the injury with 1 minute, 36 seconds to go in the first half, when he landed awkwardly on the foot while being fouled in transition. He grimaced and let out a yell as he hopped up the ramp behind the basket, then limped back to the foul line and split a pair of free throws. -via ESPN / November 19, 2022
Adrian Wojnarowski: Tyrese Maxey is out for the rest of the Sixers-Bucks game, per @CassidyHubbarth. -via Twitter @wojespn / November 18, 2022
