Philadelphia 76ers' All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey is currently undergoing concussion evaluation ahead of the team's home game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Tyrese Maxey injury update

With Tyrese Maxey being ruled out for the game against the Nets due to a concussion sustained in the matchup with Dallas, his participation in the next game becomes a concern.

The NBA has a concussion protocol that players must pass before returning to play. This protocol is designed to ensure the player's safety, focusing on their health and preventing any long-term issues.

Given that Maxey's injury isn't considered serious, there is still a procedure that must be followed, making his status uncertain for the Wednesday game against Memphis.

The team's medical staff will closely monitor their All-Star's symptoms and progress through the league's concussion protocol.
