Tyrese Maxey

No Joel Embiid, no problem for Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers. With the reigning scoring champion out with an injury against the Toronto Raptors, Philly’s third-year guard stepped up with a career night north of the border. When Maxey is confronted by Fred VanVleet and a rapidly-draining shot clock, he fires up a desperation corner triple that finds nothing but the bottom of the net. Maxey exploded for a career-high 44 points and nine three-pointers, while shooting 15-for-20, grabbing eight rebounds and dishing four assists in his squad’s convincing 112-90 win on October 28, 2022.
