NEW YORK — All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey has been diagnosed with a concussion and will miss the Philadelphia 76ers' game in Brooklyn. Maxey lost his balance on a drive Sunday in the third quarter of a game at Dallas and banged his head on another player's knee. He left the game but was able to return and finish, scoring 24 points in the 76ers' 120-116 victory. He was added to the injury report Tuesday afternoon, leaving the 76ers without both of their All-Stars. The 76ers said Maxey has a mild concussion. Joel Embiid remains out after left knee surgery.
