Maxey has been hard at work this offseason improving his game, which <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/exclusive-tyrese-maxey-on-new-balance-hero-pack-76ers-joel-embiid-and-more">included workouts</a> with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.</p><p>Maxey, who will be entering his sixth season in the NBA this October, is hopeful to take another step in his overall development.</p><h2><b>76ers’ Tyrese Maxey details ‘amazing’ LeBron James offseason workout</b></h2><p>Tyrese Maxey called the 2024-25 season one of the most difficult seasons in his NBA career due in large part to the team’s inability to stay healthy.</p><p>Maxey put up per-game career highs in points, steals, minutes, field goals made, and field goals attempted while playing a career-low 52 regular season games. In 37.7 minutes a night, Maxey averaged 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.</p><p>After the rough season, Maxey is coming into the 2025-26 campaign determined not to have a repeat season, and a workout with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James added increased motivation for the 76ers guard.</p><p>Tyrese Maxey spoke exclusively with ClutchPoints for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/exclusive-tyrese-maxey-on-new-balance-hero-pack-76ers-joel-embiid-and-more">release of his New Balance “Hero Pack</a>,” which features the Hesi Low V2’s and the 1906R’s in a special, superhero themed colorway that was designed by Maxey himself. Among the things discussed was the workouts with LeBron James in Los Angeles.</p><p>“I think the biggest thing is for me and what I can take from him is just his passion for the game,” Maxey told ClutchPoints. “Like, I’m extremely passionate. I love basketball. Anytime I can do anything that pertains to basketball, I want to do it.

Maxey has seen a rise as the 21st overall pick in the NBA Draft who did not make an All-Rookie team to an NBA All-Star, a Most Improved Player of the Year award, and a face of the 76ers franchise within five seasons.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Lakers-news-LeBron-James-shares-powerful-message-for-76ers-Tyrese-Maxey.jpg"></figure><p>“I don’t know how many times I’ve worked out with him now,” Maxey admitted. “I mean, that’s crazy to say and, I guess, that’s how I know I am getting a little old. But yeah, it’s good work, man. It’s good work. He does a good job of talking and just being vocal and helping. I’m very appreciative of him. He’s done a lot.”</p><p>Tyrese Maxey told ClutchPoints he’s <a href="https://twitter.com/TyreseMaxey/status/1946370722164560110" rel="noopener">committing this offseason</a> to how he can help his team both on and off the ball.</p><p>“I’ve been doing a lot of different things [this summer],” Maxey added. “I’ve been working on a lot of like just posting and just trying to find ways to slow the game down and create for my teammates. I’ve got to be able to control the game at a better pace, I feel like, and being able to control the entire 48 minutes of it, whether that’s with the ball in my hands, without the ball in my hands, when I’m on the bench and I’m helping my teammates. That’s one step that I really want to take.”</p><p>Maxey wasn’t the only 76ers player to struggle through injuries last season.</p><p>Joel Embiid finished the 2024-25 regular season having played just 19 regular season games due to recurring knee injuries. He averaged some of the lowest numbers of his career at 23.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game while never truly appearing to be healthy on the basketball court.</p><p>Paul George also played just 41 games in the regular season, averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. The 16.2 point per game average was the lowest since his second year in the NBA.</p><p>Jared McCain appeared to be the Rookie of the Year frontrunner through early December before he suffered a torn meniscus that shut him down for the remainder of the season. McCain averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for Philadelphia, but only played 23 games.</p><p>More than anything, this 76ers team needs to stay healthy and build some on-court continuity because talent alone will only get them so far. Fresh off a big summer that included workouts with Lakers star LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey is looking to lead that charge for Philly this October.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tyrese Maxey only played 52 games in what he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/exclusive-tyrese-maxey-on-new-balance-hero-pack-76ers-joel-embiid-and-more">called one of the most difficult seasons</a> of his career.</p><p>With a fresh start entering the 2025-26 season, Maxey is hoping he can take his Sixers to the next level.</p><p>In a lot of ways, Tyrese Maxey had a career year for the 76ers, averaging 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.8 steals per game in 37.7 minutes per game. He also, however, played a career-low 52 games after suffering a fracture to a finger on his right hand.</p><p>On top of that, the 76ers’ 24-win season despite adding Paul George last summer had fans trolling on social media throughout the season.</p><p>After having some time to see the messages and social media posts this summer, Maxey took to social media with a single message:</p><p>“Yall talking yall mess on this app this summer! UNDERSTOOD!” <a href="https://twitter.com/TyreseMaxey/status/1946370722164560110" rel="noopener">wrote Maxey</a>, ending his message with a salute emoji.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Yall talking yall mess on this app this summer! UNDERSTOOD🫡!</p><p>— Tyrese Maxey (@TyreseMaxey) <a href="https://twitter.com/TyreseMaxey/status/1946370722164560110?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 19, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>During an exclusive interview with ClutchPoints to promote the launch of his New Balance “Hero Pack” colorway, 76ers star Tyrese Maxey addressed those comments and who they were directed at.</p><p>“Yeah, that wasn’t even for me personally,” <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/exclusive-tyrese-maxey-on-new-balance-hero-pack-76ers-joel-embiid-and-more">Maxey added in the exclusive interview</a> with ClutchPoints’ Tomer Azarly. “That was just in general. I mean, I had a lot of time on my hands, sadly, because we lost early. I just got a chance to really read people’s tweets, not just that pertain to me, just pertain to everybody in the world. It’s just like, ‘man, people are really getting stuff off their chest.’ Hey, I get it. Get it off, man. I’m not mad at it at all. Hey, if you’ve got something to say, speak it. That’s the world that we live in. That’s why we live in America.”</p><p>Joel Embiid finished the 2024-25 season having played just 19 regular season games, averaging 23.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, but never truly appeared healthy on the basketball court.</p><p>Paul George played just 41 games in the regular season, averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. The 16.2 point per game average was the lowest since his second year in the NBA.</p><p>Rookie of the year frontrunner Jared McCain suffered a torn meniscus in the first half of the season that shut him down. In just 23 appearances, McCain averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for Philadelphia.</p><p>“So it wasn’t more of a personal thing or people talking about you?” Maxey was asked. “It’s just what you saw in general on social media?”</p><p>“No, I don’t take anything personal,” Maxey responded. “I live a great life. I’m blessed. I know that we didn’t perform the way we wanted to perform last year. That’s okay. You take down that on the chin. You take that as a challenge. You go out in the next year and you go out there and you prove people wrong and you make a step.”</p><p>The Sixers haven’t made many moves in free agency, but are are hoping their biggest additions to the roster will come in the form of No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecomb and a flurry of key players returning to peak health. Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, and Jared McCain were clearly the 76ers’ best players last season, but all dealt with significant injuries.</p><p>If the Philadelphia 76ers are going to bounce back this season, it’ll have to start with health, first and foremost.</p><p>“The biggest thing is we got to get on the court together, we’ve got to be healthy and we got to have continuity. You can’t do anything if the guys aren’t together. If we aren’t together, if we aren’t all on the court, if we’re not all stepping in the right direction and it’s going to be extremely hard. So that’s my main goal.”</p><p>Last week, Maxey and New Balance launched the, “Hero Pack,” a superhero themed colorway for the Hesi Low V2’s and the 1906R’s.</p><p>“I think the inspiration is kind of in the name itself, the ‘Hero Pack,'” Maxey told ClutchPoints about his New Balance colorway. “It ties in three of the things that are very important to me. Basketball, shoes, and heroes. I think those things are some things that are very important in my life, on and off the court. Just being a hero on the court and trying to help my team win games. And off the court, just being a hero in the community, trying to be a good influence on kids and people in general and trying to make this world a better place.</p><p>Tyrese Maxey’s New Balance “Hero Pack” colorway launched July 31st and is the first PE available for fans to purchase.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If Maxey can accept that trust and use it as fuel to improve his game while focusing less on <i>only</i> going after his own shot, the 76ers’ trust will be further justified.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Perkins expressed concern that organizational instability under general manager Daryl Morey could eventually push Maxey to request a trade.</p><p>Perkins criticized the current state of the franchise, pointing to a perceived lack of structure and culture since Morey assumed leadership of the front office.</p><p>“At one point we were looking at the Philadelphia 76ers – at one point we saw structure, we saw stability, we saw culture, and then all of a sudden since Daryl Morey has taken over this job, it’s gotten worse,” Perkins said.</p><p>He then turned his attention to the state of the team’s core, raising concerns over <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-joel-embiid-wishes-organization-wouldve-saved-him-from-himself-knicks-playoff-series">Joel Embiid’s ongoing health issues</a> and the risk of losing Maxey.</p><p>“All of a sudden you’re looking at your franchise guy, one of your franchise guy’s not being able to start the season next year in Joel Embiid because he’s telling us right now, that his body is not right… which we already know. Paul George already underwent a procedure, now you look at your next guy in the diamond in the rough that you found in Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock,” Perkins said.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“The Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock… when it comes down to Tyrese Maxey… if they keep trending in this direction of no culture and no stability, guess what?

Tyrese Maxey is gonna want out of Philadelphia and we know who his agent is, it’s Rich Paul. And Rich Paul don’t give a damn. I’m telling you this – this is something I know,” Perkins continued.</p><p>Maxey, 24, has steadily developed into one of the franchise’s foundational players since being selected with the No. 21 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He was named an All-Star for the first time in 2024 and also earned the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. The following season, he averaged a career-high 26.3 points, 6.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game. He shot 43.7% from the field and 33.7% from three in 37.7 minutes per game, though injuries limited him to a career-low 52 appearances.</p><p>Philadelphia’s 2024–25 campaign was derailed by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-joel-embiids-on-air-surgery-revelation-cry-for-help">injuries to key players, including Embiid and George</a>, resulting in a 24–58 finish and a 13th-place spot in the Eastern Conference. The disappointing record positioned the team to secure the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-reason-why-vj-edgecombe-chose-no-77">No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which they used to select V.J. Edgecombe</a>.</p><p>As the 76ers enter the 2025–26 season, attention remains focused on their ability to build around Maxey and Embiid while maintaining long-term roster stability. Perkins’ remarks highlight growing external concern about the direction of the franchise and the potential long-term ramifications if change does not occur.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The silver lining for the 76ers was that they got the third pick in this year’s draft, which they used to select Baylor standout VJ Edgecombe.</p><p>One of the lowest moments of last season for the 76ers was a reported heated argument between Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey regarding Embiid’s alleged habit of showing up late to team meetings and things of that nature.</p><p>When that story got out to the media, Embiid said that “Whoever leaked that is a real piece of s—.”</p><p>Now, Embiid is revealing that he was indeed able to<a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45747447/joel-embiid-philadelphia-76ers-star-sees-you" rel="noopener"> track down the source</a>, per Dotun Akintoye of ESPN.</p><p>“I know who leaked it,” said Embiid. “…but I’m not going to — the past is the past. The one thing I’ll say is, it’s hard being around people that do those sorts of stuff. That goes back to the trust thing. Once you cross that — you can’t expect me to be part of a team meeting again. That’s just not going to happen.”</p><p>Embiid did not reveal who the source was but did cryptically add that “There’s a chance they’re still around.”</p><h2><b>Can the 76ers turn it around?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Joel-Embiid-powers-through-his-defenders.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>In theory, the 76ers may be the most talented team in the East next season considering the injury-riddled state of the conference. However, injuries are arguably a bigger caveat for the 76ers than any other team in the NBA, and fans will have to see Embiid, George, and Maxey stay healthy for a prolonged stretch in order to believe it.</p><p>The good news for the 76ers is that they have a strong collection of young guard talent in Jared McCain and Edgecombe, who should provide some complementary scoring and playmaking for a team that could certainly use the help in those departments.</p><p>Philadelphia’s season is slated to get underway in October.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In addition to his own performance ensemble, the colorway will make a lifestyle jump to the 1906R as well.</p><h2>Tyrese Maxey x New Balance Hesi Low v2 / New Balance 1906R</h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">FIRST LOOK: Sixers star <a href="https://twitter.com/TyreseMaxey?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TyreseMaxey</a> is getting his own New Balance Pack 🔔</p><p>🗓️ July 31st<br>📝 U1906RTM (1906); BBHSLMM2 (Hesi Low V2)<br>💵 $160 (1906); $120 (Hesi Low V2) <a href="https://t.co/ScyhL1OPwm">pic.twitter.com/ScyhL1OPwm</a></p><p>— Sole Retriever (@SoleRetriever) <a href="https://twitter.com/SoleRetriever/status/1942279465205391394?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">BREAKING; Tyrese Maxey is getting his own New Balance Pack, releasing on July 31st.</p><p>The 1906s (the left pic) will retail for $160.

The shoes are marketed for speed and explosiveness, much like Maxey’s skills as a player. The shoes are made from synthetic uppers and feature a TPU heel plate for support. The iridescent New Balance logo gives this clean white colorway an extra pop to accent the complimentary colors.</p></figure><p>The 1906R is more of a utility lifestyle sneaker, suitable for walking, hiking, and the outdoors. Based in NB’s treaded outsoles, the colorway is subtly placed over the white underlaying material, accented by yellow contrast stitching along the TPU panels. The shoes feature light blue hues on the lace stays and “N” logo, finishing another very clean look for this shoe.</p><p>The two-shoe pack is set to release July 31, 2025 with the Hesi Low v2 coming in at $120 and the 1906R at $160. The shoes will release alongside each other on <a href="https://www.newbalance.com/">New Balance</a> as well as select New Balance Basketball retailers.</p><p>Which shoe will you be looking to grab?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Though he ultimately went undrafted, he landed in Portland for two years as a reserve forward before taking his talents to Brooklyn after being waived in the summer of 2023, where he played for the last two seasons.</p><p>Free to sign wherever he wanted, Charania noted he chose Philadelphia because of the role they had to offer, even if his deal is seemingly worth at or just above the minimum for a player with his years of service.</p><p>What does this mean for the potential return of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/76ers-news-guerschon-yabuseles-excited-approach-to-upcoming-free-agency">everyone’s favorite French power forward, Guerschon Yabusele</a>? Well, that depends on how the 76ers signed the former Net, as if he’s on a minimum deal, which means basically nothing, but if Daryl Morey dug into the $5.7 million in MLE money he could spend, it could potentially spell the end of the “Dancing Bear’s” run in South Philadelphia.</p><p>Still, whether Watford was signed to replace Yabusele or to play alongside him, his addition to a 76ers team that has been in desperate need of additional bodies at the power forward spot is important nonetheless, as he brings size and versatility to a team that has lacked both.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They can take a talented prospect or <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/nba-rumors-76ers-engage-spurs-trade-no-2-pick">trade the No. 3 pick</a>. The trade option is on the table because the 76ers still have Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey. That trio only played 15 games together last season, but it seems they are giving this experiment one more season.</p><p>According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer at <i>The Stein Line</i>, the 76ers are content with bringing back their big three despite only appearing in 15 games together and having a 7-8 record. <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/the-latest-nba-draft-intel-kevin?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=166283635&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=39f60&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">They want to give this group one more shot together</a> to compete for an NBA championship and give the talent more time to gel because the sample size was so small.</p><p>The two insiders elaborated more on what Philadelphia plans to do: “By simply staying at No. 3, Philadelphia would introduce an $11.1 million salary onto its books for 2025-26. So the Sixers expect to operate near (or maybe even above) the second apron for this upcoming campaign, sources say, as they prepare to give Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey another shot to try to contend for a championship after they managed to appear in just 15 games (7-8) together this season.”</p><p>The big three of Embiid, George, and Maxey dealt with numerous injuries last season, and all three did not finish the season. It was not impressive, but with all three back next season, they think they can make it work after more time together and contend for a championship.</p><p>Philadelphia’s desire to remain in the top three is where the draft could get interesting, because Rutgers forward Ace Bailey <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/sources-ace-bailey-calls-off-76ers-meeting-workout-before-nba-draft">abruptly canceled his meeting and workout with the team</a>. If Bailey is no longer an option, the 76ers have a few options, but Baylor guard V.J. Edgecombe might be the frontrunner now.</p><p>Philadelphia is one of the weirder teams in the draft lottery because it genuinely has talent. That trio speaks for itself, but Jared McCain emerged as a reliable rookie before getting injured, and then Quentin Grimes exploded onto the scene while the team was dealing with injuries to its big three. Kelly Oubre Jr. is also worth mentioning as a key veteran.</p><p>Despite the roster being hamstrung money-wise, adding one of the best rookies at the top of the draft only helps the 76ers’ total potential next season, when they are going all-in for an NBA championship.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The issue for Philadelphia this past season, though, was the unavailability of its ‘big 3.’</p><p>Maxey played a career-low 52 games, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-paul-george-drops-scrambling-admission-joel-embiids-unavailability">Embiid and George were limited even more than him</a>. Embiid, who won the 2023 NBA MVP but has struggled to consistently stay healthy, played just 19 games before being shut down for the season at the end of February due to lingering problems with his left knee. Last month, Embiid had arthroscopic surgery on the knee, which he also had surgery for a year earlier.</p><p>George, the oldest of the bunch at 35 years old, played 41 games in his first season with the 76ers. The nine-time All-Star’s debut with the team was delayed until the sixth game following a hyperextended knee in the preseason, and he subsequently dealt with numerous injuries until, similarly to Embiid, being ruled out for the rest of the season in mid-March.</p><p>One of the few bright spots coming out of the 76ers’ poor season is that it landed them a favorable draft pick; Philadelphia avoided having to give its pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-daryl-morey-seems-end-speculation-plan-no-3-pick">earned the No. 3 overall pick</a> in the NBA Draft lottery.</p><p>If the 76ers’ core can stay healthy, they will likely be among the top contenders in the Eastern Conference next season, particularly after Achilles injuries to the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After missing the playoffs, the 76ers can at least look forward to adding a highly-touted prospect to their strong core, helping them redeem themselves next season provided, of course, that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-paul-george-drops-scrambling-admission-joel-embiids-unavailability">Joel Embiid stays healthy.</a></p><p>Nevertheless, with the title picture being as wide open as it is, Tyrese Maxey couldn’t help but feel some sort of FOMO with the 76ers sitting at home. Maxey, however, vowed that he’ll <a href="https://x.com/TyreseMaxey/status/1922496661449846798" rel="noopener">do his best</a> to get Philly back to the playoffs where they belong (they made it every single year from 2018 to 2024).</p><p>“Yall deserve to be in the playoffs and we gotta work to get back there for yall!! 💯💯,” Maxey wrote on his official account on X (formerly Twitter).</p><p>The 76ers’ contending hopes will all hinge on Embiid and his health; Embiid dealt with a ton of knee problems this past season which then forced him into a early hiatus. Getting him back to MVP form will be necessary for Philly to make good on the contending promise that their roster possessed in the aftermath of their blockbuster signing of Paul George last summer.</p><p>Getting the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/philadelphia-76ers-3-best-options-no-3-pick-2025-nba-draft">third overall pick of this year’s draft</a> will allow them to build a sustainably good supporting cast around Embiid, Maxey, and George; Jared McCain should be back after a torn meniscus ended his rookie season early, while Quentin Grimes should be brought back from restricted free agency after he scorched the nets after arriving in Philly after the trade deadline.</p><h2><b>76ers to address their power forward problem?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Philadelphia-76ers-center-Joel-Embiid-and-forward-Paul-George.jpg"><figcaption>Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 76ers are certainly stacked at the guard positions; Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, and Quentin Grimes have those positions covered. Paul George should be very motivated to prove that he’s not yet washed up after a rough first year in Philly. But at this point, George may no longer have the capacity to play power forward for extended stretches.</p><p>Guerschon Yabusele was solid in his return to the NBA, but he’s an unrestricted free agent, free to sign with any other team. There remains a glaring hole for the team at the four, which is something they’ll have to address this offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The health of their three stars — Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey — was also an issue. PG’s first campaign with the team also couldn’t have gone any worse.</p><p>But George, Embiid, and Maxey are determined to improve for 2024-25. PG revealed that the Philly Big 3 plan to <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-joel-embiid-paul-george-tyrese-maxey-big-three-20250415.html?int_promo=" rel="noopener">spend a lot of time together</a> this offseason to find more chemistry and build their relationship.</p><p>Via Keith Pompey:</p><p>“I think that’s very important,” George said. “We’ve already talked about seeing each other, where we’re going to be this summer. So we’ve already had those conversations about connecting once the season’s over. I think it’s very important.</p><p>“I don’t think it’s healthy to go two, three months before seeing each other, regardless of if we’re checking in over the phone. It’s just different seeing each other.”</p><p>PG played in just 41 contests this past season, averaging 16.2 ppg.<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/grading-76ers-212-million-paul-george-max-contract-in-free-agency"> Considering how much money the 76ers gave him in free agency</a>, the veteran’s performance was a sheer disappointment to this passionate fanbase. Regardless, he is focused on getting better.</p><p>Maxey echoed PG’s sentiment about strengthening their relationship, both on and off the court:</p><p>“I said this at the beginning of the year, like at media day,” he said. “I said, ‘Listen, right now, we’re just names on a paper.’ And that’s a fact. I mean, we’ve got to see how it gets put together, how it doesn’t get put together. Who works with who? Who doesn’t work with who?”</p><p>In fairness, the Big 3 only played 15 games together, but it wasn’t pretty. They had a 7-8 record during that span.

He was insistent that the big man was dedicated to the team and said that he’s kept in touch with him to <a href="https://x.com/BySamDiGiovanni/status/1893511745823518744" rel="noopener">make sure his spirits stay as high as they can</a>.</p><p>“It sucked. It really did suck, man, because at the end of the day, Joel is somebody who really wants to be out there,” Maxey said ahead of the 76ers’ season finale. “To see him suffer, to see him like go out there and actually try and he just couldn’t be himself, you could tell. You give him the ball sometimes and me being here the longest, I’ve seen him do so many spectacular things. I gave him the ball a couple of times in moments where I think that he would do something and I guess he just couldn’t. He was limited.”</p><h2><b>76ers appreciate, express faith in Joel Embiid following lost season</b></h2><p>Embiid may struggle to stay healthy but his teammates believe in him and appreciate his presence around the team.</p><p>Jared McCain said that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-jared-mccain-opens-up-on-tight-bond-with-joel-embiid-amid-injury-recoveries">Embiid was a great teammate</a> and someone who’s eager to get back out on the court. Kelly Oubre Jr. knows how resilient he is. “I pray that he takes the proper steps to get back to being himself,” he said. “But yeah, man, he fights lions and tigers and bears. He can conquer whatever he’s going through right now.”</p><p>The 76ers are very likely not winning a championship with Embiid leading the way at this point. Even if he returns to his MVP level, which seems extremely unlikely, the roster isn’t as formidable as others. At this point, Embiid even maintaining an All-Star level would be a great development. He’s worked tirelessly through multiple injuries and his teammates are eager to see him on the floor again.</p><p>“Hopefully that surgery went well and all that and he gets back to Joel Embiid that we know and love and that, honestly, I hope it for him because it’ll make him feel a lot better,” Maxey continued. “All in all, he has been great this year as far as being a teammate, being somebody who comes and just supports us.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tyrese Maxey tried to look at the bright side of a mostly tumultuous season.</p><p>“This is gonna sound bad,” the star guard said, “but the one positive that I do take away is the only way we can go from here is up. It gives us something to build to. Everybody in this room, no matter if they come back here, if you’re not here, if you are here next year, you should have a different type of edge about yourself. You should go into the summer with a lot to work on and a lot to prove, myself included.”</p><p>The Sixers weren’t even close to finishing with a winning percentage of 33 after seven years of finishing with no worse than 57 percent. Injuries put them in a bad position they were unable to dig their way out of. Before they get back to the drawing board, they have to reset for a little bit.</p><p>“I think we all need a mental break,” he said. “We need a mental break, mental reset, figure out how this franchise moves forward from this. Again, I mean, the best thing I could possibly say is the best thing we could do is go up. We can’t go any further than this.”</p><h2><b>Tyrese Maxey eager to help 76ers bounce back from lost season</b></h2><p>Maxey had the unenviable task of leading the 76ers while his veteran co-stars were hurt, scoring a lot individually but failing to keep the team afloat. Seeing Joel Embiid fight though knee problems and <a href="https://x.com/PHLY_Sixers/status/1911483432267317693" rel="noopener">only play in 19 games “sucked.”</a> Paul George had better injury luck but was still far from optimal. Getting healthy is the first order of business for making next season successful.</p><p>“I think we’ve seen where our peaks can be in this year,” Maxey said. “It wasn’t a lot of them but there were some stretches where we all played and we looked really good. We found the right rotations, we knew who to get the ball to, who we need to get the ball to ’em, everybody got shots, everybody looked good.</p><p>“The sky’s the limit. That’s the thing that I can say. But the work has to be put in from day one, not from in the middle of the season.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/76ers-news-jared-mccain-delivers-five-word-declaration-amid-rookie-of-the-year-bid" rel="noopener">emergence of Jared McCain as a potential future star</a>, the mini-breakout of Quentin Grimes and the promising play of rookies Justin Edwards and Adem Bona give the 76ers some glimmers of hope for the future. But it’s going to take more than that for the Sixers to be the title contender they hoped to be. Maxey will undoubtedly be at the forefront of efforts to make next season much, much better.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
