The Philadelphia 76ers come into their matchup with the Atlanta Hawks seeking their first multi-game winning streak since January. On the second night of a back-to-back, the Sixers will be without Joel Embiid, Paul George and several other players. Their third star may make a return to the court, though. Here is what we know about Tyrese Maxey's injury status tonight as Philly prepares to face Atlanta at State Farm Arena.

Tyrese Maxey injury status vs. Hawks

Maxey has been ruled out on the NBA injury report due to a lower back sprain and a finger sprain on his right hand.

Despite missing the Sixers' win on Monday against the Utah Jazz, Maxey did some on-court work beforehand, trying to make it back to the lineup for his struggling squad. Nick Nurse said that Maxey would be considered questionable to play in Atlanta.

Maxey has missed the Sixers' last two games and fought through the finger injury before that, struggling to shoot and dribble the ball. He has yet to play since sustaining the back injury in a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Philly would be smart to be overly cautious with his injury recovery, as back issues can become very tricky and risking Maxey's health at this point in the season isn’t worth it.
