The Philadelphia 76ers have signed guard Tyrese Maxey to a five-year, $204 million extension contract. This fully guaranteed deal represents a significant pay raise for the 23-year-old player, who was recently named the NBA’s Most Improved Player. Maxey’s impressive performance last season, where he averaged 25.9 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.7 rebounds, has solidified his value to the team.
Sixers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey and head coach Nick Nurse have both expressed confidence in Maxey’s potential for growth. Morey praised Maxey’s ability to exceed expectations, while Nurse highlighted the guard’s physical skills and defensive capabilities. Assistant coach Rico Hines even went so far as to suggest that Maxey has the potential to be a Hall of Famer.
The extension with Maxey comes as part of the Sixers’ offseason plan to build a competitive roster. The team has also reached agreements with other players, such as Eric Gordon and Kelly Oubre Jr., as they aim to strengthen their lineup for the upcoming season. These moves reflect the team’s commitment to pursuing success and creating a winning culture in Philadelphia.
