PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey’s upside in 2023-24 will outweigh what he can do as the second option behind Joel Embiid. The Philadelphia 76ers needed him as the primary option for parts of the season due to some of Embiid’s injuries. Results were mixed for him and the team. But their last game without the big man was a roaring success..

76ersand#039; narrowly defeated the Sacramento Kings, the main story was a stellar performance by Tobias Harris, who fell just short of his career high of 37 points. But Maxey did a very good job organizing the offense without Embiid, even though he didn’t shoot very well from the field..

I think we’re used to it, Maxey said of the offense’s initiator. “A lot of times when a big guy doesn’t play or in rotations, where he comes out, that and what the defense went – blitzer, face guard, stuff like that. So it’s just my way of getting used to It’s the first time I’ve seen it, especially at the NBA level. I think guys like Paul Reed and guys like Mo Bamba have done a really good job of hitting it and going down there and making plays for others.”The 76ers will lean heavily. on Maxey on offense when Embiid sits. Nick Nurse compared the situation to a young up-and-coming star on a bad team who gets a lot of reps even when the team is struggling. That aptly describes the Embiid-less Sixers, who are 3-7 this season.But in this Kings game, Maxey regularly helped Philly score while contributing a lot on defense. Nick Nurse liked what he saw from the star guard and the guys around him who saw almost every chance he created.”I think he did a great job with it,” the 76ers head coach said. “I think we literally got it where we needed it. We had different things. We took it to one guy that came right off the bat. We passed it and moved it. I think we got a lot of open triangles out of it .and a few more cuts and arrangements. And that’s what you’re trying to do. You either try to hit and shoot in threes or with the ring. I thought our guys were very well organized and stayed in the game to get people. You have two, you have to find the next pass, and then you have to play four-on-three behind it.”The Kings never stopped their aggression against Maxey, but he returned the favor with smart passes and dazzling buckets when he got them.When Maxey got the key doubled off the top, he threw a quick pass back to a wide open Bamba, who finished the game with a bucket..
