Tyrese Maxey has been recognized as the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week, marking the second time in his career he has received this honor. During the past week, Maxey led the 76ers to three road wins, averaging 34.7 points on 61.2% shooting, alongside 8.7 assists, 6.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks.
His recent performance included achieving a career-first: consecutive games with at least 30 points and 10 assists. Maxey also showcased his sharpshooting by making 14 of 26 three-pointers across the three contests. This accolade follows his previous Player of the Week award on October 30.
The Philadelphia 76ers are set to play a significant portion of their upcoming games at home. They are preparing to face a Denver Nuggets team that is severely shorthanded, with key players like Nikola Jokic (expected to miss four to six weeks), Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon sidelined due to injuries.
