Even though the Sixers are worried about the health of Joel Embiidinjured in the lateral meniscus of the left knee, Tyrese Maxey was light-hearted Thursday night in Utah. He had, in fact, just learned that he was selected for the All-Star Game on February 18 in Indiana!
“It’s a great success,” congratulated Nick Nurse, who recently felt that his point guard should participate in the all-star games. “It’s completely deserved. He's incredible, he works hard, he's made a big leap forward this season. Congratulations to him. »
To celebrate, Tyrese Maxey set a career record, nothing less! Starting off on a strong basis with 18 points in the first quarter, then 14 more in the second, he put the Jazz to torture.
After 11 points in the third quarter, he “only” scored 8 points in the last, but they were all important. It was with a winning shot that he equalized 100 seconds from the end, then with two free throws that he gave Philadelphia the victory, four seconds from time.
We do the math and that gives 51 points, 17/27 on the shoot including a superb 7/9 on 3-pointers and an almost perfect 10/11 on free throws. This is his new career record, ahead of the 50 units on November 12, 2023 against Indiana.
“I am blessed!” » concludes Tyrese Maxey, who was so light-minded that he didn't even feel that he had played 41 minutes for his return. “It was a wonderful day. I'm just happy we won. It wouldn’t have mattered if we had lost, because we would have been sad on that long flight to Philadelphia.”
