On and off the court this season, Tyrese Maxey is making an impact in his new home of Philadephia.
On Friday morning, the NBA announced that the 76ers guard and former Kentucky Wildcat has been named the winner of November’s NBA Cares Community Assist Award. The monthly honor is handed out to the player who “best demonstrates the passion that the league and NBA players share for giving back to their communities.”
During the Thanksgiving holiday, Maxey and the Tyrese Maxey Foundation helped donate 300 meals (which included a turkey, a five-pound bag of potatoes, and other traditional Thanksgiving sides) to families across the western part of Philadelphia.
