As the Philadelphia 76ers' trying season continues, could it spell the end of head coach Nick Nurse's run with the team? Health concerns with 76ers All-Star Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have added to the issues plaguing Philadephia from emerging into playoff contention.
Tyrese Maxey continues to play through pain. The 76ers point guard is dealing with a sprained finger on his right shooting hand. The injury has affected Maxey’s shooting touch in recent games, but it hasn’t changed his desire to compete.
With 23 regular-season games remaining, George, Maxey, and coach Nick Nurse all plan to push for an appearance in the Play-In Tournament.
Sixers stars Paul George (left groin soreness) and Tyrese Maxey (lower back sprain) remained sidelined. Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said pregame that Kyle Lowry’s injured right hip has been feeling “a lot better.
Nick Nurse realizes that the 76ers' key players, like Kelly Oubre Jr and Guerschon Yabusele, are being over-extended.

"That’s what my job is here," Maxey said, "not just to be the best possible player that I can possibly be, but to be the best person for everybody in this locker room, the entire organization."
Coach Nick Nurse gives a lot of praise to Quentin Grimes as the Philadelphia 76ers move forward with their season.
Are the Sixers going to consider shutting down or scaling back the workloads of Tyrese Maxey and Paul George now that Joel Embiid's season is over?
