That’s a big blow for the 76ers, as he’s their leading scorer this season, and one of the leading scorers in the league. With the injuries that they’ve dealt with, Maxey has been the one constant, and he’s delivering at a high level.</p><p>The 76ers might have some good news on the injury report, as Joel Embiid is listed as questionable with left knee injury management. Embiid did play two days ago, and the 76ers had him on a plan where he would have two days off every game. That means that Embiid should be out this game, but it looks like he could play, which would be the first time he does so this season.</p><p>After their win against the Indiana Pacers, Embiid shared that there was a chance that the schedule he was on could be re-evaluated.</p><p>“We’re gonna talk about it.

At 31 years of age, there are some who believe that Embiid’s days as a superstar who can lead the 76ers to the promised land may be over.</p><p>But on Friday night in a 115-105 win over the Indiana Pacers, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-tyrese-maxey-celebrates-joel-embiid-success-vs-pacers-amid-illness">Embiid showed that he could very well have a bounce-back season</a> as he continues to put his knee issues in the rearview mirror. The 2023 NBA MVP put up 39 points on 12-23 shooting from the field in his best performance yet in leading the 76ers to a win without Tyrese Maxey, who was not present for Friday night’s action due to an illness.</p><p>After the game, the 76ers’ star point guard, who wasn’t with the team on Friday night, gave Embiid <a href="https://twitter.com/Ky_Carlin/status/1999671341268775293?s=20" rel="noopener">his due props</a> on his Instagram story for the performance he put up against the Pacers.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tyrese Maxey reacts to Joel Embiid’s big game while watching from home <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Sixers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Sixers</a> <a href="https://t.co/wif73l6KHc">pic.twitter.com/wif73l6KHc</a></p><p>— Ky Carlin (@Ky_Carlin) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ky_Carlin/status/1999671341268775293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>76ers are now Tyrese Maxey’s team, but Joel Embiid is team’s biggest X-factor</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Embiid-laughs.jpg"><figcaption>Geoff Burke-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Maxey is now without a doubt the 76ers’ best player. He is the man the team is relying on on a nightly basis amid the injury uncertainty to the likes of Embiid and Paul George.

Remember, he recorded his 70-point game against Victor Wembanyama. He can also be a game-changer on defense, although his athletic decline has rendered him less impactful on that end of the floor.</p><p>The 76ers’ main goal is to get Embiid healthy, and seeing him score 39 on Friday should at least be a good sign for Philly moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Those numbers will go up after his big night against the Pacers.

They have avoided a repeat of last year’s disastrous start and currently sit in a tie for sixth place in the East with a 13-10 record. However, fans can never exhale too long before quickly turning their attention to the team’s health.</p><p>The Sixers’ top two players are on the injury report ahead of Friday’s home game versus the Indiana Pacers (6-18). Both Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid played in Philly’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-news-lebron-james-fans-bonkers-clutch-buckets-vs-76ers">narrow loss to the Los Angeles Lakers</a> last Sunday, but when it comes to this franchise, fortune can change on a dime. This city has been bracing itself for calamity, so any injury-related news is likely to cause stomachs to clench.</p><p>Perhaps the 76ers can dispatch of Indy regardless, but the focus is on the bigger picture. The more Embiid and Maxey share the court, the more confidence the fan base will have in the long run. Ergo, people eagerly want to know if this star duo will be in action in Xfinity Mobile Arena tonight.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Injury statuses of 76ers’ Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey </b></h2><p>Embiid, who has played in only nine games since returning from left knee surgery, is <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-12-12_01PM.pdf" rel="noopener">listed as probable</a> for the Pacers matchup. Maxey initially carried the same designation but has since been downgraded to questionable due to illness. Philadelphia could find itself in a unique predicament if the latter is ultimately ruled out.</p><p>Sixers head coach Nick Nurse has had the luxury of leaning on his dynamic point guard for the entirety of the campaign thus far, which has allowed the former MVP center to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-joel-embiid-warriors-benching-part-the-process">take a cautious approach</a> in regards to his usage and playing time. Joel Embiid might be able to handle more responsibilities if necessary, but is that really what the organization wants?</p><p>The chronically unhealthy big man is already weathering some shooting struggles, going 4-of-21 from the field in loss versus LA, so this may not be an ideal time for him to take the lead. The reason the 76ers have survived his poor attendance rate this year is because Tyrese Maxey is occupying the workhorse role to full effect. If the explosive 25-year-old were to miss extended time like he did last season, then trouble is bound to befall the City of Brotherly Love.</p><p>Luckily, he is not currently dealing with an injury. Nurse and company will have to decide if Maxey is up to playing on Friday. The 76ers and Pacers tip off at about 7 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The moment that grabbed headlines came postgame, when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-paul-george-trending-return-bucks-matchup">76ers forward Paul George</a> shared a light but meaningful exchange with fellow star Tyrese Maxey. The chemistry and steady confidence between the duo framed a night that blended veteran presence with rising energy.</p><p>During his post-game interview, George was reflecting on his health and consistency when his point guard wandered into the frame with a grin. The clip, posted by the organization on X (formerly known as Twitter), <a href="https://x.com/sixers/status/1997153672116191287?s=20" rel="noopener">captured the moment</a> perfectly before George spoke about his mindset.</p><p>“I’m blessed that I’m healthy and I’m just trying to stack games.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“I’m blessed that I’m healthy and I’m just trying to stack games” <a href="https://t.co/mWxZRz5JHi">pic.twitter.com/mWxZRz5JHi</a></p><p>— Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) <a href="https://twitter.com/sixers/status/1997153672116191287?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 6, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The quote from the nine-time All-Star forward echoed through the fan base and reinforced a theme driving the Sixers early in the season. Coming off a tough back-to-back without Joel Embiid, the team leaned on depth instead of star power. Quentin Grimes scored 22 points off the bench, and Jabari Walker added 18 to fuel a strong first half.</p><p>George finished with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, showing real poise in crunch time as the Bucks threatened late. His control of the pace in the final minutes helped steady a lineup that had leaned on its bench for much of the night. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-what-tyrese-maxey-said-about-vj-edgecombe-saving-butt-warriors">Maxey, limited to 12 points</a>, shifted into full facilitator mode and knocked down a key jumper with under four minutes left to stop Milwaukee’s push. The 76ers vs. Bucks matchup once again highlighted the Sixers depth, with young contributors such as rookie VJ Edgecombe closing out defensively and making the kind of winning plays that hold up on the road.</p><p>The victory pushes Philadelphia to 13-9 and highlights a team trending toward sustained form. Between George’s leadership and Maxey’s maturity, this group continues to deliver steady flashes that suggest a rising championship identity.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Significantly, Maxey <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47044863/tyrese-maxey-career-high-54-points-76ers-outlast-bucks-ot" rel="noopener">gave details</a> about the mistake Rivers made, according to the Associated Press.</p><p>“I didn’t have to move too much or work too hard to score or get the ball on offense, so I think I didn’t feel tired just because of that,” Maxey explained.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-tyrese-maxey-puts-away-bucks-ot-54-point-masterpiece">Maxey went off for his best game</a> of the season, tallying 54 points on 18-of-30 shooting, including 6-of-15 from beyond the arc. Additionally, he went 12-of-14 from the free-throw line. His nine assists also helped the Sixers when they needed to. Maxey further clarified that the zone defense employed in the second half helped him, and it gave him a chance to thrive.</p><p>“The zone slowed the game down and kind of took stress off the body. I was like ‘Listen, I’m good. If you want me to stay, I can stay.’ He let me stay, so I finished the game.”</p><p>Maxey logged 46:38 against the Bucks, leading the 76ers in total minutes. He illustrated that he would stay on the floor as long as the team needed him, even if it meant he led the league in minutes. With the Bucks using a zone defense, Maxey was able to pick his spots and navigate the court, knowing the defense would only cover a specific area.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
