Tyrese Maxey Named All‑NBA Third Team

This first All‑NBA selection signals his elevation to franchise leader with a path to supermax eligibility if he repeats the honor next season.

Overview

  • The NBA announced on May 24 that Maxey was named to the 2025-26 All‑NBA Third Team, the first All‑NBA honor of his career.
  • Maxey posted career highs of 28.3 points, 6.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds while leading the league with 38.0 minutes per game.
  • He played 70 regular‑season games and cleared the NBA's 65‑game award requirement despite a March pinkie injury that required a splint.
  • Maxey was the driving force behind the No. 7 seed Sixers and helped rally the team from a 3-1 deficit to beat Boston before being swept by the Knicks in the conference semifinals.
  • The All‑NBA nod increases Maxey's contract leverage and would open supermax eligibility if he makes an All‑NBA team again next season, a factor that will shape Philadelphia's offseason roster planning.
