PHILADELPHIA: Tyrese Maxey spent his summer on a tour worthy of a rock band. He turned up at gyms, high schools, and in California and Texas and even at Phillies and Union MLS games.
Rest? Not a lot of it. Maxey burned the wick to the point where the 76ers coaching staff considered an intervention. Take a breather, Ty.
His response: Thanks, but no thanks. Joel Embiid and James Harden are the super-sized salaried franchise players that are expected to carry Philadelphia deep into championship contention in coach Doc Rivers’ third season.
But the 6-foot-2 Maxey is trying to wedge his way into All-Star talk and possibly form a true Big 3 with his more famous “big brothers” (as he calls Embiid and Harden).
