Then, there’s PJ Tucker who has been a continued influence in his ear in terms of wanting him to be a better defender. “All year,” Maxey continued. “Ever since he got here. He’s been telling me that there’s no reason that I can’t be a really good defender on this team and I just appreciate him for that.” The main message Tucker has been trying to get across to Maxey is that he is not a bad defender. He has to be able to understand that and continue to take strides in that respect. -via Sixers Wire / March 11, 2023
At the Sixers’ Thursday practice, Maxey discussed how the rest of the season looks for him and how he’s looking to stay fresh. When asked if he’s feeling fatigued at all at this point in the season, he suggested that his previous injury actually played a part in him feeling rested. “I feel great — not because I got hurt, but I didn’t play for a while,” Maxey said. “I think I looked at it yesterday, I’ve played like 40-something games. So, I haven’t really played that much. I’ve only played like half the season. I feel really good. It’s a blessing in disguise, I guess you could say.” The Sixers guard has played in 46 games so far this season and hasn’t missed one since January. -via Clutch Points / March 9, 2023
