Tyrese Maxey injury will likely sideline him for rest of FIBA U18 tournament

2019 Kentucky basketball commit Tyrese Maxey suffered an ankle injury in a Team USA pool play game at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship on Tuesday, and it now looks as though he may be out for the rest of the tournament.

Maxey has had a strong showing in his FIBA games, averaging 13 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals in under 24 minutes per game going into Puerto Rico game on Tuesday where he was injured.

“I thought Tyrese was really good until he got nicked up,” Team USA coach Bill Self told Daniele Franceschi on Thursday.
