Tyrese Maxey has been a standout player for the Philadelphia 76ers this season, averaging a career-high 27.7 points per game. He has stepped up as a leader amid injuries to key teammates, including Joel Embiid and Paul George. Paul George praised Maxey's development and ability to handle pressure, noting his impressive performance despite the team's struggles. Maxey is logging an average of 38.0 minutes per game, the second most in the NBA. Despite his strong play, Maxey was not selected for the 2025 All-Star Game, which George attributes to the team's poor record. George believes Maxey deserves recognition for his contributions and competitiveness.
