Oh No He Didn't: Tyrese Maxey on Joel Embiid: "He's really good at basketball. He played more minutes than me to tonight so that's good"
Ky Carlin: Tyrese Maxey after the win tonight spoke on Paul George: “First of all, we stand with Paul. We appreciate him, and as a team, we’re gonna rally behind and make sure that he’s good and gets whatever he needs.”
George's absence will take away some of the team's star equity within lineups. They were able to play two of their Big Three together in any lineup. Nurse's first adjustment will be to stagger Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey more aggressively. But that's easier said than done. "There are some times that saying that sounds great. Sometimes it's hard to do in a tough game when you're battling back and you're trying to get one of them off the floor," Nurse said. "But also I'm equally interested in getting some other guys that we can find a groove with some certain lineups and sets and things to keep the scoreboard moving."
Austin Krell: Nick Nurse said that Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid were great, but that he felt players such as Kelly Oubre and VJ Edgecombe were not as involved as he'd have liked and that bled into the rebounding woes.

Tony Jones: The Sixers win 113-111 over the Kings and move to 26-21 on the season. They erase an 11-point deficit in the final six minutes. Tyrese Maxey with 40. Joel Embiid with 37.
Austin Krell: The NBA ruled that Tyrese Maxey's layup at the end of regulation was, indeed, a goaltending. Huge miss in the moment, but the Sixers ultimately did not pay for it.
Derek Bodner: Final: Sixers beat the Rockets in OT 128-122 to improve to 24-19. Joel Embiid finished with a 32/15/10 triple double, playing 46 minutes. Tyrese Maxey added 36 and Kelly Oubre Jr had 26 on 10-14 shooting. Incredible game.

Shams Charania: Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Tyrese Maxey is receiving his first signature shoe with New Balance debuting later in 2026, both sides tell ESPN. Maxey signed a new deal with the company that included a signature line.
After the 76ers' 113-104 win over the Pacers, Edgecombe crashed Maxey's interview, put his arm around his teammate, and said "For the record man we do not hate each other." Maxey had a facetious follow up: "I hate you don't ever talk to me again and go in the locker room."
Tyrese Maxey: Like you said, my first year I was here, Ben was here. Uh, second year, no Ben, I'm starting. Okay, cool. I'm get a groove. We trade for James. Okay, now I move off the ball. Now I'm off the ball playing with James, which is great. He teaching me a lot of different things. Uh, we go through half year with that. Another year we get me, James, Joe, everybody all together. Uh, after that, James leaves. Now I'm on the ball again. Like you said, now I'm with Joel and Joel's—he battled, you know, some injuries. So then I had to realize to like kind of step up and you know, be a number one option situation. So it's been a lot of change, but it—it's been a blessing, man. It's—it's growing my game, growing my mind, growing my mental health a lot, and uh I'm just thankful. Thankful for it all.”
