Won't play Tuesday Maxey (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
Impact Maxey dropped 52 points against the Spurs during a double-overtime win Sunday, but he continues to battle left hip tightness. After Tuesday's matchup, the 76ers have only two games remaining during the regular season -- Friday versus Orlando and Sunday against Brooklyn. Kyle Lowry (knee) remains out, so Cameron Payne and Buddy Hield are candidates for elevated roles against Detroit.

Deemed questionable for Tuesday Maxey (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Although Maxey continues to deal with left hip tightness, he's coming off a dominant performance in which he tallied 52 points, seven assists, five rebounds and two steals in 54 minutes during a double-overtime win over the Spurs on Sunday. If he's cleared to play Tuesday, his workload will likely depend on whether Joel Embiid (knee), Tobias Harris (knee), Kyle Lowry (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (back) are available.

Erupts for career-high 52 Maxey closed with 52 points (19-41 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 12-12 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 54 minutes during Sunday's 133-126 double-overtime victory over San Ant...
Impact The fourth-year guard took advantage of the extra court time to set a new career scoring high while dropping at least 50 points for the third time this season -- something only Wilt Chamberlain, Joel Embiid and Allen Iverson have also done in Sixers history. Maxey has scored 25-plus in eight of his last 12 games, and he's averaged 26.2 points, 6.5 assists, 3.8 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch.

Good to go Maxey (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Spurs, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Maxey will suit up for both ends of the Sixers back-to-back set despite dealing with left hip pain. Although Maxey only saw 25 minutes Saturday, the absences of Joel Embiid (rest), Kyle Lowry (rest) and Tobias Harris (knee) could mean a hefty workload for the fourth-year guard Sunday.

Iffy for Sunday Maxey (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Impact Maxey finished Saturday's blowout win over Memphis with just seven points (2-6 FG), five assists and a rebound after exploding for 37 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds during Thursday's win over Miami, which marked the point guard's return from a two-game absence due a left hip injury. Philadelphia has already ruled Joel Embiid (rest) and Kyle Lowry (rest) out for Sunday, so if Maxey joins them on the sidelines, the 76ers will need multiple depth pieces to step up and play quality minutes versus San Antonio.

Will play against Memphis Maxey (hip) is available and will play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Similar to Joel Embiid, Maxey went through his regular shootaround routine and has been deemed available to play in a favorable matchup against the Grizzlies. Look for Maxey to handle his regular workload against Memphis in what looks like a must-win game for the 76ers.

Goes through shootaround Maxey participated in shootaround of Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Maxey is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies with left hip soreness. However, the 23-year-old guard appears on track to suit up in his second straight contest.

Questionable for Saturday Maxey is questionable for Saturday's game against Memphis due to left hip tightness.
Impact Maxey returned from a two-game absence Thursday against Miami and didn't appear to have limitations, as he tallied 37 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds, a steal and a block in 41 minutes. However, he continues to deal with a hip issue, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Saturday.

Nears triple-double in return Maxey notched 37 points (15-26 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, nine rebounds, one steal and one block over 41 minutes in Thursday's 109-105 win over Miami.
Impact Maxey returned Thursday after missing the previous game with a hip injury, leading all players in the contest in scoring and assists to go along with a team-best mark from three and ending one rebound shy of a triple-double in an all-around showing. Maxey's return provides a big lift to a 76ers team that is getting back to full strength health-wise, something that has been missing notably during Maxey's three-game absence. Maxey tied a season-high mark in assists in his return, notching his sixth game with 35 or more points. He has posted at least 30 points and 10 assists in three games this year, adding eight or more rebounds in two of those three outings.

Cleared to play Thursday Maxey (hip) will play Thursday against the Heat, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Likely to play Thursday Maxey (hip) is "likely" to play against the Heat on Thursday, head coach Nick Nurse told Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com.
Impact Maxey missed Tuesday's win over the Thunder with left hip soreness in what was his third straight absence, but he's trending toward playing Thursday. Nurse revealed Maxey's status will be clearer after warmups, as the coaching staff wants the star guard to get through his pregame routine before he's officially cleared, so he's essentially going to be a game-time decision. All things considered, though, it seems the 76ers will have both Maxey and Joel Embiid (knee) available together for the first time since a Jan. 25 loss to the Pacers.

Iffy against Miami Maxey (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Heat.

Questionable for Tuesday Maxey (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City.
Impact Maxey missed Sunday's game against the Raptors due to left hip tightness, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return to action Tuesday. If he's unavailable once again, Cameron Payne will likely continue to see increased playing time.
