76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Drops 17 points in 12 minutes
Rotowire
Maxey popped off for 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two assists and three triples in just 12 minutes of action during Friday's preseason loss to the Magic.
Maxey has looked great through the preseason thus far, so managers can feel confident investing an early-round pick on the sixth-year guard on draft day. Yes, he did experience some freak injuries last season that limited him to just 52 games, but he's only two years removed from a 70-game, All-Star-caliber season. He looks ready to bounce back in a big way.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Scores 16 in preseason loss
Rotowire
Maxey finished with 16 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 18 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 loss to the Knicks.
Maxey made use of the limited time he was on the floor during the team's second preseason game, matching Kennedy Chandler for a game-high point total. The talented guard already looks back to form, which is a great sign for the 76ers considering their injury issues.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Busy in limited action Thursday
Rotowire
Maxey logged 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason loss to the Knicks.
With Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) sidelined, Maxey operated as the offensive focal point Thursday. If either Embiid or George ends up being limited to start the season, Maxey would be in a position to rack up even more counting stats. The 76ers effectively shut down the star guard late last year while he nursed a sprained right finger, but Maxey looks to be fully healthy for the preseason.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Active to start camp
Rotowire
Maxey (finger) has been a full go at training camp, Adam Aaronson of Philly Voice reports.
Maxey hasn't played since March 4 due to a lower back sprain and a sprained right finger, but there was no mention of either injury at Media Day, which suggests that he's been 100 percent for quite some time. With both Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) hobbling at the start of training camp, Maxey is likely to soak up a ton of usage in the early going.
