Despite being sidelined with a foot injury since mid-November, Philadelphia 76ers young star Tyrese Maxey is making the most of his time off the court in the community.
Just a few weeks ago, the 22-year-old, along with the Tyrese Maxey Foundation, donated hundreds of turkey dinners to families in need in West Philadelphia. Earlier in the year, Maxey assisted the team’s back-to-school efforts in passing out new backpacks and school supplies to every student at Forest Hill Elementary School in Camden, New Jersey.
For his efforts in the Philadelphia-metro area, Maxey has been named the winner of the NBA Cares Community Assist Award for the month of November, according to a press release from the NBA.
