""Blessed," Maxey said. "I thank God for it. Any time you're in a conversation with Wilt, who scored 100 points, you can't complain.""
""He's special," George said. "He's gifted. I think what you guys don't see and what stands out is after the game, on a back-to-back, 50, 45-plus minutes, he goes and lifts. That just speaks volumes to who he is, why he's where he's at. I've been around a lot of great guys in this league. That's what they do. They do the stuff like that keeps them going, keeps them strong, always working on themselves.""
Tyrese Maxey leads the NBA with 40.3 minutes per game and produced a career-high 54 points and nine assists in 46½ minutes during a 123-114 overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Maxey and Wilt Chamberlain are the only 76ers to record at least 50 points and nine assists in a game. Maxey averages 33.4 points, second in the league behind Luka Doncic. Injuries to Joel Embiid and Paul George have increased Maxey’s workload; Embiid missed a sixth straight game with a knee issue while George recently returned after offseason knee surgery. Teammates praise Maxey’s conditioning and recovery routine, noting he lifts after games even on back-to-backs. Maxey earned his first All-Star selection in 2023-24 and overcame a 2024-25 season cut short by a right-hand finger injury.
