PHILADELPHIA — Could Tyrese Maxey return from his fractured foot for the 76ers’ Christmas Day matchup against the New York Knicks?
Doc Rivers said Friday that he doesn’t “have confidence in that.” But the coach added that Maxey is “close” to getting back on the floor for the Sixers.
“He’s making great progress,” Rivers said of Maxey before Friday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. “[He] had a great workout [Thursday], so he’s close.”
