Tyrese Maxey Scores Career-High 54 to Lift 76ers Over Bucks in OT

The 46-minute outing highlighted Philadelphia's dependence during Joel Embiid's knee absence, with Milwaukee also missing Giannis Antetokounmpo for about two weeks.

Overview

  • Maxey finished with 54 points, nine assists and five rebounds in a 123-114 overtime win, tying the game on two free throws with seven seconds left in regulation.
  • The performance came on the second night of a back-to-back after Maxey logged 39 minutes in a loss to Toronto the previous evening.
  • Joel Embiid missed a sixth straight game for right knee management as the 76ers also ruled Kelly Oubre Jr. out at least two weeks with a sprained left LCL.
  • Paul George, back on a minutes limit, added 21 points in 25 minutes to steady Philadelphia's offense early.
  • With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined by a left adductor strain expected to keep him out about two weeks, Milwaukee got 32 points and a career-best 14 assists from Ryan Rollins.
