Tyrese Maxey has emerged as the new leader of the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2024-25 NBA season, especially in light of Joel Embiid’s recurring absences. Recently, the guard spoke about stepping into this new role and the challenges it has brought.

Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers explain why they took the Chicago Bulls so seriously in their road win on Saturday.

Tyrese Maxey explains why the Philadelphia 76ers can turn their season around and make a playoff push despite their sluggish start in this one-on-one interview.

At no point in the budding career of Tyrese Maxey has he been more consistent, and proof of that came on Saturday night when Maxey scored a game high 31 points in a 109-97 win over the Chicago Bulls. It was Philadelphia's second straight victory, and Maxey's tenth consecutive game with at least 25 points.

Cunningham and Mobley were easy picks, while Siakam followed pretty quickly as the Pacers’ most important two-way player. LaVine has been one of the league’s most efficient high-volume scorers and the Bulls have been much better with him on the floor.

The Sixers have not had these types of struggles in his first four seasons in the league and he has had to adjust to the losing while also being a leader for this Sixers team amid the injuries.

The Sixers’ win Saturday night at the United Center brought more injury misfortune and uncertainty; Paul George’s game ended in the second quarter because of a left pinkie finger issue. The fact that Maxey barely left the court allowed the Sixers to complete a perfect back-to-back.

Paul George and Tyrese Maxey combined for 59 points as the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 132-129 upset of the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

The 76ers faced the Cavs for the final time this regular season. Joel Embiid and Evan Mobley were both inactive.
