Tyrese Maxey Shines with Five Triples, Solidifying Role as 76ers' Second Option

Tyrese Maxey delivered a strong performance Wednesday against the Raptors, recording 24 points, nine assists, three steals, one block, and two rebounds, including five three-pointers, in 39 minutes. This follows a significant leap in 2023-24 where he averaged career-highs of 25.9 points and 6.2 assists, earning his first All-Star selection and a five-year, $204 million max contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. Maxey is expected to remain the No. 2 offensive option behind Joel Embiid, even with Paul George's arrival. While his field-goal percentage remains a slight concern, his solidified leading role makes him a valuable middle-round fantasy target.
