Maxey, who has been sidelined since early March, should be ready for the start of next season, but it’s going to be a little while before he returns to playing basketball. Maxey’s season has been over for a while, and the 76ers aren’t going to play in the postseason, so this won’t have any immediate impact. However, it appears that his finger injury is fairly severe, since it’ll end up being close to three months off before he returns to basketball activities.

While ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on April 3 that Maxey was done for the season, the 76ers said he aggravated a previous finger injury during his ramp-up to play. As a result, he is officially done for the season, but Maxey is expected to fully recover this offseason. Injuries limited Maxey to 52 games during 2024-25, averaging a career-high 26.3 points and providing top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. This was the first season Maxey failed to play at least 60 games, so he should not take too significant of a hit in drafts next fall.

Maxey has not appeared in a game since March 3. While he was initially dealing with back and finger injuries, the latter is why the 76ers guard will not play again this season. According to Charania, Maxey is still experiencing discomfort in his finger and needs further treatment. What was not reported is the possibility of Maxey undergoing offseason surgery to address the issue. Maxey exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (26) in eight- and nine-cat formats, appearing in 52 games. However, the 76ers rarely had their “big three” on the court together, as Joel Embiid and Paul George were also limited due to injuries. This is the first season in which Maxey has failed to play at least 60 games, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned heading into drafts in the fall.
