Tyrese Maxey’s UNREAL Career-High Performance In San Antonio! 🔥| April 7, 2024

Never miss a moment with the latest news, trending stories and highlights to bring you closer to your favorite players and teams.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 133-126 in a double-overtime thriller. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with a career-high 52 points, along with 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. Victor Wembanyama totaled 33 points, 18 rebounds, 7 blocks, 6 assists, and 5 3PM for San Antonio in the loss. The 76ers win their fifth in a row as they move to 44-35 while the Spurs move to 19-59.

With his game today (33 PTS, 18 REB, 5 3PM, 6 AST, 7 BLK), Victor Wembanyama is the ONLY PLAYER to ever record a 30+ PTS, 15+ REB, 5+ AST, 5+ 3PT, 5+ BLK game since 1979-80, the first season of the three-point rule. The first player in NBA history with such a line.

Embiid and Maxey both have three 50+ PT games on the year, only Wilt Chamberlain (5 in 1965-66 and 4 in 1967-68) has more such games in a season.

Wilt Chamberlain - 5 games in 1965-66
Wilt Chamberlain - 4 games in 1967-68
Allen Iverson - 3 games in 2004-05; Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid - 3 games in 2023-24

Embiid also had three 50-PT games last season, in 2022-23.

Maxey (52 PTS, 7 AST, 5 REB) joins Allen Iverson (5), Joel Embiid (5), and Wilt Chamberlain (4) as only players with multiple 50+ PTS, 5+ AST, 5+ REB games in Sixers history with the second of his career today.

Maxey running a layup drill against the top shot blocker in the league is crazy 🔥🔥🔥

It was hard watching another Spurs late game implosion, but I do love seeing Maxey succeed. He is getting close to being my favorite current player.

Embiid and Maxey having their career high this season.. Both against the spurs lmao

[brucelau]

MAXEY IS AN ABSOLUTE DAWG . Should be the NBA’s most improved player no question about it, can’t wait for the Sixers to use him more next season #THEFRANCHISE

Tyrese: 52 PTS | 5 REB | 7 AST | 2 STL | 1W💎

Maxey is the future of the Sixers 😮 this kid unbelievable talent only if Embiid can stay healthy more often the duo between two of them will be deadly

[rawnugget]

Maxey has been improving his game before our eyes!

[kingkyrie]

The way he stops on a dime at 1:10 is unbelievable

[CWJ]

That last play in regulation time to tie up the game was like a football play!

What an exciting game! If Embiid can shake off the rust by playoffs, the Sixers will be in good shape

Not to mention, Wemby is gonna be an all star next year (and he definitely deserves ROTY & DPOTY this year too)

[aleczanderestrella]

Got him in 2k24 myteam at 97 overall rating didn't knew he was this good. Probably he'll be one of my fav pg currently.

[bruceleez]

You rarely see a Maxey shot attempt from any spot get blocked. I believe he may may be a special kind of balanced between high IQ and Speed to the rack. My God can he get to the rim fast.

[PACNYY]

Maxey is an absolute dawg 💪. I hope they won this game when it's all said and done.

[Coolhand]

Tyrese wasn’t gonna let himself get beat by Malachi Flynn for most points in a game lol

[vietnam]

First Embiid drops 70 and now Maxey drops 52 on Wemby lol

[realdreamerschangetheworld]

Imagine Maxey won’t have to do all of this, this year, but still can if he needs too 🔥🔥🔥

[Joe-kvtk]

He may not be in the same category as the Anthony Edwards or Luka Donic level players….but he’s certainly not far off. And he’s only getting better every year.

[nintendolegonbafan]

I swear every time the Spurs play someone’s always dropping 40+ or 50+ on them smh.

[jamespeery]

Nurse is a way better coach then Rivers.
