The Philadelphia 76ers may be without one of their key weapons as they head into Monday night’s game against the New York Knicks trailing 1–0 in the first-round playoff series.

Reports from the Sixers shootaround on Monday morning noted that guard Tyrese Maxey was not present, and had been designated as questionable for the night’s game due to illness.

Should Maxey be unable to play against the Knicks, it would be a huge blow to the Sixers’ hopes of evening the series. Maxey led Philadelphia in scoring in Game 1 on Saturday night, putting up 33 points against New York.

Game 2 of the series tips off at Madison Square Garden at 7 p.m. ET on Monday night.
