Tyrese Maxey Leads Sixers To Victory Saturday
2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey marked his return to the starting lineup on Saturday with a game-high 32 points in a 129-127 victory over Sacramento. He shot 12-for-29 from the field and 2-for-8 from behind the arc, adding three rebounds and six assists in 41 minutes. Maxey took the reins offensively after Joel Embiid (foot) and James Harden (foot) were ruled out for the contest. The 22-year-old is averaging 22.5 points and 4.3 assists this season as a starter and will hope to fight back his place. Before taking Harden's spot in the starting unit Saturday, Maxey had come off the bench in three straight games. He's been getting 14.8 points off the pine and can still have value as a bench contributor, but starter's minutes put Maxey in a much better position to perform.
