” It’s getting closer, I can tell you. According to Doc Rivers, Tyrese Maxey will soon find the parquet floors. The 76ers starting guard has not played since November 18 due to a broken foot. His return has been mooted for early next year.
” He is progressing well. He had a great practice yesterday (Thursday) so he is getting closer », develops his coach. One of the questions linked to this return concerns his starting place, his status since the start of the 2021-2022 season.
” I imagine all the scenarios with our guys. When he comes back, we’re not going to throw him straight, no matter what. He’s been on the sidelines for a long time and it’s a foot injury, so it’s not a conditioning thing, but we’re open to anything. continues Doc Rivers.
The latter, in the absence of his titular back, notably trusted De’Anthony Melton. When he holds, the former Grizzlies player has 13 points (37% from 3-point range but 40% overall), 5 rebounds and 4 assists on average. Very good defender, Melton seems more complementary to James Harden, and that would justify using Maxey as a super joker.
