Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey earned the first All-NBA selection of his career on Saturday, being named to the 2025-26 All-NBA Third Team after a breakout sixth NBA season. Maxey became the first Sixer to receive All-NBA honors since Joel Embiid in 2023 and capped off a year in which he firmly established himself as the franchise’s lead guard.

Maxey averaged 28.3 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks across 70 games while leading the NBA in minutes played per game. He also earned his first All-Star starting nod earlier this season and broke Allen Iverson’s franchise three-point record.

Despite battling a finger tendon injury late in the season, Maxey returned in time to satisfy the NBA’s 65-game requirement for postseason awards eligibility and ultimately secured a spot among the league’s top 15 players.
