Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey has a right thumb contusion and will not return against the Orlando Magic.

Tyrese Maxey suffered a right thumb injury in the first quarter of the 76ers' preseason finale against the Magic.

The Sixers' primary goal in their preseason finale was to escape without suffering any more injuries -- and they may not have succeeded.

Maxey's skills are undeniable, and he's had some pretty talented mentors, too. But coaches and teammates point to his personality as a separating trait.

The Sixers finally reached the preseason finish line. They concluded their six-game exhibition schedule Friday night in Orlando with a 114-99 loss to the Magic, dropping to 3-3 in the preseason. Tyrese Maxey subbed out in the first quarter because of a right thumb contusion.
