Tyrese Maxey’s Explosive 54-Point Night Against Bucks Signals a New NBA Superstar Rising

The Tyrese Maxey ascension keeps looking more real. The Philadelphia 76ers guard continued a scorching start to the season with perhaps his best game as a professional: a career-high 54 points on 18-of-30 shooting, plus 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks in a 123-114 overtime win Thursday over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has more 50-point games than Maxey’s four over the past three seasons.

That scoring outburst upped Maxey’s season average to 33.4 points per game, the second-highest mark in the NBA behind only Luka Dončić (34.6). He is also the second NBA player to open a season with 10 straight games of at least 25 points and 5 assists.
