Tyrese Maxey Practicing After Monday’s Exit
7 months agoPhiladelphia 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.
