He has returned to Philly for further evaluation after encountering concussion-like symptoms in the last 24 hours, as reported by Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Following an impact to the back of his head during Sunday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, Maxey underwent examination by attending physicians. Despite being initially cleared to resume play, he was reassessed post-game by doctors and remained symptom-free.

However, given the recent onset of symptoms within the last 24 hours, Maxey has been ruled out for concussion evaluation.

Throughout the season, he has been a key player, averaging 26.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists over 55 games.
