Beyond the game

Maxey grew up in a basketball family — his father Tyrone played college ball and became a coach — and was raised with an upbeat, sportsmanlike disposition that earned him the 2024 Sportsmanship Award. A self-professed Marvel superfan who cited Dwyane Wade as his childhood hero, he runs the Tyrese Maxey Foundation with an anti-truancy initiative aimed at keeping kids in school.

His identity is speed and joy — one of the fastest players in the league, a downhill scorer who has grown into a lead ball-handler, three-point threat, and clutch closer. As Embiid's availability has fluctuated, Maxey has increasingly become the 76ers' offensive engine and durability anchor, taking on a franchise-cornerstone role.
