Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey, who was already dealing with a finger injury, left the game against Portland midway through the third quarter after appearing to hurt his back during a fall. Maxey got up and went to the locker room after falling and didn't return. He finished with five points and six assists in 23 minutes in the loss.

The Philadelphia 76ers played host to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday looking to keep moving in the right direction. They were able to pick up a win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday and were hoping to build off that against a scrappy Blazers team while missing Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr.
