Early-season injuries have already hit the Philadelphia 76ers, but it doesn’t matter when Tyrese Maxey is playing like an MVP candidate.
That’s not hyperbole, either. Granted, we’re only three games into the 2025-26 season, but ignore that for a second while we talk about Maxey lighting up the NBA. The former Kentucky guard has Philly off to a 3-0 start following Monday night’s 136-124 win over the Orlando Magic. Maxey popped off for 43 points, eight assists, and four rebounds in 41 minutes against the Magic, shooting 15-32 from the field and 4-11 from long range.
