Maxey ended with 16 points (7-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-99 loss to Minnesota.
Maxey failed to make a three-pointer for the first time since Nov. 2, and the result was a season-low 16 points. He played well despite the poor shooting from distance, though the 76ers lost 112-99 without Joel Embiid (hip). It was also the second night of a back-to-back for Maxey and the Sixers, which could have contributed to his rough shooting from deep.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Chips in with 30 points
Rotowire
Maxey finished Tuesday's 122-119 overtime loss to the Cavaliers with 30 points (11-28 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 47 minutes.
Maxey might have needed 28 shots to score 30 points, but his scoring numbers have been so good that he can afford to have a night off in terms of efficiency from time to time. Firmly entrenched as the Sixers' second-best option on offense behind Joel Embiid, Maxey continues to have a career-best season in most categories, though his 27.0 points and 7.0 assists per game certainly stand out.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Tallies double-double in victory
Rotowire
Maxey posted 25 points (8-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 121-99 victory over the Nets.
Maxey led all 76ers in threes made and assists while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points in a double-double performance. Maxey has handed out 10 or more assists in four games this season and tallied at least 25 points in eight of his first 13 outings.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Struggles from field Friday
Rotowire
Maxey amassed 19 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 126-116 win over the Hawks.
Maxey didn't have a good shooting performance and was held to 20 points or less in back-to-back contests for the first time in 2023-24, which shows how dominant he's been on offense this season. This performance also ended a seven-game streak in which Maxey scored 20 or more points. Firmly entrenched as Philly's second-best scoring option behind Joel Embiid and busting out as one of the most improved players in the league through the first part of the season, Maxey is averaging 25.8 points, 7.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds across nine appearances in November.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Held to 20 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Maxey recorded 20 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 loss to Boston.
Maxey delivered his second-worst scoring mark of the season Wednesday, and he also saw the end of his four-game run with at least 25 points following a subpar shooting performance -- though it must be noted he was facing one of the best defensive backcourts in the league featuring Jrue Holiday and Derrick White. Maxey should deliver a better outing against the Hawks on Friday.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Puts up 27 points in loss
Rotowire
Maxey ended Tuesday's 132-126 loss to Indiana with 27 points (9-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 38 minutes.
As expected, Maxey was not able to repeat the 50-point showing he delivered against the Pacers on Sunday, and while he had a rough night from the field, he still notched his sixth straight game with at least 20 points. Maxey has reached that feat in all but one of his appearances this season and should remain a stellar scoring weapon as the clear No. 2 option behind Joel Embiid for a rising 76ers team.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Drops 50-piece in win
Rotowire
Maxey erupted for 50 points (20-32 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 39 minutes in Sunday's 137-126 win over the Pacers.
Maxey turned in the NBA's third 50-point game of the season, setting a career-high scoring mark along the way. His night was capped off with a contested step-back three-pointer with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter to reach the half-century mark. Sunday was the first time Maxey has led the 76ers in scoring since the season opener, with Joel Embiid leading in points in each of the previous eight games. Maxey has stepped up spectacularly in his increased role following the departure of James Harden and has scored 20-plus points in all but one game this season. The 1.0 blocks per game he's averaging for the season probably aren't sustainable -- he's averaging 0.3 per game for his career -- but Maxey should remain a stellar four-category producer (points, assists, three-pointers and free-throw percentage) now that he's locked in as the clear No. 2 option for Philadelphia behind Embiid.

Maxey provided 25 points (11-27 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over the Celtics.
Maxey led Philadelphia in threes made and assists while finishing second on the team in scoring and rebounds in a near double-double showing Wednesday. Maxey has hauled in nine or more boards in two games this season, tallying at least 25 points in four of his seven appearances.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Logs double-double in win
Rotowire
Maxey logged 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds and one block over 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 win over Phoenix.
The 10 assists were a season-high mark for Maxey, who came away with his second double-double of the campaign after previously notching 26 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Portland on Oct. 29. He's averaging a whopping 38.4 minutes per game through the 76ers' first five games, and his uptick in usage has him on track for All-Star level output. The 22-year-old has accounted for 18.1 percent of the 76ers' possessions plus assists this season.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Maxey (hand) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Raptors.
Maxey was evaluated for a hand injury after posting 26 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's win over the Raptors. However, it appears the issue was minor and won't force him to miss any game action. With James Harden (conditioning) out of the picture, Maxey has flourished to begin 2023-24, averaging 30.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 38.7 minutes per game.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Leads 76ers in scoring Thursday
Rotowire
Maxey chipped in 31 points (10-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 loss to the Bucks.
Joel Embiid is widely expected to operate as the Sixers' main scoring threat on a game-to-game basis, but Maxey took over in this one as Embiid was tightly guarded near the rim. Maxey took advantage to lead the team in both points and assists. He averaged 20.3 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds last season, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him surpass those numbers, especially if James Harden remains away from the team due to his trade demands.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Double-double in preseason finale
Rotowire
Maxey scored 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding 12 assists, three steals, two rebounds and a block in 32 minutes during Friday's 120-106 preseason win over the Hawks.
James Harden remains away from the Sixers due to his trade demand, and it's looking doubtful he'll be in the lineup when the regular season tips off Thursday, Oct. 26 against the Bucks. That could be good news for Maxey though, as the fourth-year guard may see more of the ball after recording a career-high 24.1 percent usage rate last season. Joel Embiid remains the centerpiece of Philly's offense, but with Maxey as the No. 2 option rather than the No. 3, a career-best campaign would likely follow.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Scores 17 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Maxey had 17 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 112-101 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Maxey was active on both ends of the court in this one, though he certainly made his presence felt on the offensive end and finished as one of Philadelphia's highest-scoring players. Maxey is expected to begin the season as the 76ers' starter at shooting guard, though his role as a scorer will be secondary while slotting behind Joel Embiid (rest) and James Harden (personal) in the pecking order.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Shines in loss to Boston

Maxey notched 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 29 minutes in Sunday's 114-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Maxey struggled a bit from three-point range, but other than that, he was the Sixers' main offensive weapon and finished as the team's highest scorer by a sizable margin. He should make the most of his chances in preseason, as he'll have a secondary role on offense once the regular season begins behind Joel Embiid (rest) and James Harden (personal).

Although the Sixers fell short for a second consecutive year, Maxey has proven to be one of the team's most dependable producers. The Kentucky product averaged 20.3 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds in his third season with the Sixers and was an effective complement to James Harden in the backcourt.

Maxey was one of three 76ers in double figures in scoring, finishing two rebounds shy of a double-double in Sunday's overtime win in Game 4. Maxey struggled shooting the ball Sunday but managed to contribute offensively with a bucket in overtime to help push Philadelphia to victory.

Maxey logged 13 points (4-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 40 minutes during Friday's 114-102 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Maxey couldn't get anything going in the loss, shooting just 4-of-16 from the field en route to 13 points. Both he and James Harden (16 points on 3-of-14 shooting) fell short of the mark, underperforming following the awarding of Joel Embiid's MVP trophy. Now trailing 2-1, the 76ers will need to get a lot more out of Maxey should they hope to keep the series competitive.

Maxey helped spark a second-half comeback for Philadelphia in Monday's Game 1 win, scoring 19 of his 26 points in the second half while finishing second on the team in scoring. Maxey has tallied 25 or more points in three of his five postseason appearances.
