Near double-double vs. Washington
Maxey provided 28 points (12-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 153-131 victory over the Wizards.
Analysis
Maxey didn't have the most efficient night from three-point range, but he was scoring effectively inside the arc and finished as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Paul George (39 points). Maxey was one assist shy from logging his eighth double-double of the season (and first since Feb. 26), but he has dished out at least eight dimes in each of his three outings since returning from a 10-game absence due to a finger injury. Since his return, the two-time All-Star has averaged 25.7 points, 8.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 threes over 40.3 minutes per game.

No rust in return
Maxey (finger) generated 26 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block across 43 minutes in Saturday's 118-114 win over the Hornets.
Analysis
It was Maxey's first game since March 7, as the 25-year-old guard missed 10 straight games with a finger injury. However, he didn't need any time to reacclimate to game action, knocking down over 50 percent of his shot attempts while making significant contributions in the peripheral categories. Going back to early February, Maxey has now scored more than 20 points in 14 consecutive appearances.

Gets green light Saturday
Maxey (finger) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Maxey will shed his questionable tag and return from a 10-game absence due to a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger. The star point guard's return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Cameron Payne, Justin Edwards and Quentin Grimes. Over nine appearances since the All-Star break, Maxey has averaged 29.3 points, 6.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 3.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 36.2 minutes per game, though it's unclear if he'll see a full workload during his return.

Trending toward playing Saturday
Barring any pregame setbacks, Maxey (finger) is trending toward being available for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis
It appears as though Maxey has progressed enough in his recovery from a right finger sprain to play Saturday in what would be his first game since March 7, though his official status will be confirmed closer to the 6:00 p.m. ET tipoff. His return would give the Sixers a significant boost -- especially on offense -- and would likely result in Quentin Grimes reverting to a bench role. In his 10 games prior to his injury, Maxey had averaged 29.6 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 threes, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks over 35.8 minutes per game.

Questionable for Saturday
Maxey (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game in Charlotte.
Analysis
It was reported March 10 that Maxey would be re-evaluated in three weeks, which would have ruled him out for the rest of March, but he appears to be ahead of schedule. If Maxey is cleared to return, Quentin Grimes would likely head back to the second unit and Cameron Payne's minutes could see a sizable dip.
