76ers' Tyrese Maxey Got an Assist Without Even Playing in Mavericks-Thunder Game
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey is so talented that he gets assists without even taking the basketball court.
Maxey, who was in attendance to watch the Oklahoma City Thunder's 100-96 win over the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Monday night, found himself in the middle of the action when Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tumbled into the stands right in front of his seat during a play late in the third quarter.
Maxey, with a huge smile on his face, helped Gilgeous-Alexander, a fellow Kentucky alum, up off the floor in a lighthearted moment.
"Gilgeous-Alexander goes down hard, Tyrese Maxey was there to help him," TNT commentator Ian Eagle said.
Maxey, who announced himself as a rising star with his breakout performance in the Sixers' first round loss to the New York Knicks, may not be playing in the postseason anymore, but he's still finding ways to impact games.
