DENVER — Tyrese Maxey is listed questionable for Saturday’s game against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena with a sprained left ankle.

If the 76ers point guard is unable to play, Saturday would mark the second game he missed all season. Maxey was sidelined in the Sixers’ 125-119 road loss to the Boston Celtics on Dec. 1 with an illness.

The Sixers (29-14) are looking to bounce back from Thursday’s 134-122 setback to the Indiana Pacers. Maxey struggled against the Pacers. He scored 22 points on 7-for-17 shooting — including making just 1 of 8 three pointers. The fourth-year player also was minus-29 in 28 minutes, 30 seconds of action.

Marcus Morris Sr. (left foot plantar fasciitis) is probable, while De’Anthony Melton (back) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) remain sidelined.
