Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has entered the NBA's concussion protocol following an incident during Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Maxey collided with Derrick Jones Jr., resulting in a head injury that forced him to leave the court in the third quarter. Despite returning to the game and finishing with an impressive 24 points in 39 minutes, Maxey's health became a concern.
Head coach Nick Nurse confirmed the concussion diagnosis on Tuesday, describing it as 'delayed and mild.' As a result, Maxey was unable to participate in the Sixers' subsequent game against the Brooklyn Nets, which ended in a 112-107 loss for Philadelphia.
