Tyrese Maxey DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. Maxey was out on Feb. 12 against the Brooklyn Nets due to a knee contusion, but luckily for the 76ers, he is ready to jump back into action on Thursday night. Joel Embiid (knee) is also expected to play against the Celtics, marking just the 14th time that Maxey, Embiid, and Paul George are all available to suit up for the 76ers. Due to Maxey's return, Jared Butler will have to settle for a bench role.

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, guard Tyrese Maxey (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. The 24-year-old had five points, five boards, and four turnovers in the loss to the Raptors before the All-Star break. However, he was ruled out the following night against Brooklyn because of a knee issue. With that in mind, fantasy managers should expect to see Maxey back on the floor when the Sixers play the Celtics on Thursday evening. But if he can't suit up, Quentin Grimes, coming off a 30-point effort versus the Nets, should continue to benefit.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. Philadelphia's leading scorer was added to the injury report just a couple of hours before tip-off with a questionable tag, and he has now been officially ruled out due to a right knee contusion. Maxey sustained the injury from a knee-on-knee contact on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. He struggled badly in the contest, going 1-for-9 from the field to finish with five points. With Kyle Lowry (hip) still out, Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin Jr. will take care of the ball-handling duties against the Nets.
