Maxey left Friday's Sixers victory over the Milwaukee Bucks with a foot injury and will receive an MRI Saturday. Shake Milton and De'Anthony Melton manned the backcourt in the second half.
A brief holler of frustration and pain slipped out of Tyrese Maxey as he half-trudged, half-limped up the steps into the stands behind the’ basket after inadvertently stepping on Jevon Carter’s foot on a drive late in Friday’s second quarter against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Sixers’ next task is fast-tracking those ballhandlers until their starters return, with no practice or shootaround time before Saturday’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. “Sometimes you don’t say anything because you don’t know what to say. That’s what we’re working on. We really need those two to be able to, if someone takes you out of that action, get to the second action. It’s not easy right now.”Against the Bucks, though, Milton and Melton unleashed an attacking approach that Milton said had carried over from their chemistry established while running the second unit since training camp.
“I just had to turn on that switch and have that mentality of being aggressive and trying to make plays for the team,” Milton said."… That’s part of the reason why you put all the work in, just so that you are ready. Of course, it’s a little adjustment [with] game speed and going against defenders of that caliber.
