Maxey continued to impress at the collegiate level, starring for the Kentucky Wildcats under the legendary coach John Calipari. During his two seasons with the Wildcats, he averaged 14.6 points per game, demonstrating his ability to score, create for his teammates, and defend at a high level.

In 2020, Maxey was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 21st overall pick in the NBA Draft. Despite entering a competitive and demanding league, Maxey quickly made his mark, earning a starting role and showcasing his versatility and adaptability.

His breakout season came in 2022-23, when he averaged 20.3 points per game, establishing himself as one of the most promising young guards in the NBA.

Philadelphia 76ers 2023-24 Season

Although the 76ers (10-3) appear to be a club primed for April and the possibility of a great 2023–24 season, Philadelphia is no longer the NBA’s best team.

With 121.3 points per 100 possessions going into their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night, the Sixers lead the NBA in offensive rating.

In his quest to earn the MVP title once more, Joel Embiid has continued where he left off from his MVP campaign of the previous year, averaging 32 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists per game.

After 40 years of waiting, 76ers supporters think this could be their year to finally win a title. Philadelphia is currently riding high with 63 wins, and a lot of that can be attributed to Maxey’s breakout season.

Meanwhile, as Maxey continues his NBA journey, his future is incredibly bright. His talent, dedication, and passion for the game are undeniable, and he is poised to become a perennial All-Star and a leader in the NBA. With his relentless drive and unwavering determination, Maxey is a star on the rise, ready to leave his mark on the league for years to come.
