Tyrese Maxey's 30 Points Not Enough in Shorthanded Sixers Loss

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey delivered a strong individual performance despite the team's 135-118 blowout loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Maxey finished the night with 30 points and four assists on 10-of-21 shooting from the floor, playing over 33 minutes. He was a primary offensive force for the shorthanded Sixers, who were without Joel Embiid, Dominick Barlow, and Quentin Grimes. Maxey notably recorded the only Sixers field goal for an eight-minute stretch in the third quarter as the team struggled.
