Maxey is dealing with a right thumb contusion and won't return to Friday's preseason game against the Magic, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. He finishes the game scoreless (0-1 FG) and with one assist in five minutes.
The 76ers are being extremely cautious with their star players and aren't going to risk Maxey in a meaningless preseason game. The star guard will sit out the rest of the contest with the focus of being 100 percent healthy for the regular-season opener against Milwaukee next Wednesday.
