Tyrese Maxey added his name to an exclusive list of Philadelphia 76ers greats on Monday, becoming only the third player in franchise history to accomplish a milestone previously reached by Allen Iverson and Wilt Chamberlain, according to Sporting News.
The achievement underscores Maxey's growing reputation as one of the league's most dependable closers, with the young guard repeatedly coming through for Philadelphia in high pressure moments this season.
Joining names like Iverson and Chamberlain places Maxey in rare company within a franchise known for producing some of basketball's all time greats, Sporting News reported.
