「如果我有投票權，肯定會連續投票給謝伊。我認為溫比在聖安東尼奧所做的事情是令人驚嘆的，」哈利伯頓說。 “所以，我不想剝奪這一點。我會投票給謝伊，但我看到了他的競選活動。這是有充分理由的，但我肯定會投票給謝伊。”

吉爾傑斯-亞歷山大的賠率為-320，他是最有可能再次獲得 MVP 的賠率，領先溫巴尼亞馬的 +270 賠率，緊隨其後的是洛杉磯湖人隊全明星球員盧卡·東契奇 (+2700)。

NBA 內部人士 Zach Lowe 選擇雷霆隊的 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 擊敗馬刺隊的 Victor Wembanyama 獲得 MVP。對洛來說， 不是一場特別勢均力敵的比賽據《The Ringer》報道，他說。

「我認為 Shai，從頭到尾，這都是他的 MVP。他還比 Wembanyama 擁有 400 分鐘的優勢，這很重要……這很多，」Lowe 說。 「當謝伊在攻防兩端都發揮出自己的價值時，他在防守上並不是一個缺點……而且他的投籃方式就是他的投籃方式，在幾分鐘內，如果他們鎖定了頭號種子，我認為這就是他的 MVP，」洛說。

“我確實認為溫比有一個真實的案例。我認為他在我的投票中超過了約基奇，成為第二名。”

「我認為 Shai，從頭到尾，這就是他的 MVP。…如果 [the Thunder] 鎖定一號種子，我認為這是他的MVP。我確實認為溫比有一個真實的案例，我認為他在我的投票中超過了約基奇，排名第二。 」

儘管如此，洛還是認為吉爾吉斯-亞歷山大更有優勢，成為他今年 MVP 的候選人。

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has quickly become one of the NBA’s elite players. The potential was obvious when he entered the league in 2020, but many probably did not anticipate that he would be in the position he is in today.

Maxey is widely considered a top-tier playmaker, commonly mentioned alongside Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic, New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham.

Maxi, 25, has always bet on himself, even during his college days at Kentucky. He has carried that confidence to the NBA.

On “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” he was asked if he felt intimidated playing against players he grew up watching. Maxi’s answer it was perfect.

“When I’m in the game, I’ve got to cook for these guys. That’s my job,” the two-time All-Star said with a smile.

“Yeah, I have to cook these guys when I’m at the game. It’s my job.”

What if Tyrese Maxey goes crazy playing against the greatest players of all time?

– ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 25 March 2026

He admitted that he sometimes faints after games, which is quite normal for a young player like him.

He had to move quickly with the 76ers amid center Joel Embiid’s continued injury struggles. After a quiet rookie season, he has improved his game every year, including being named Most Improved Player in 2024.

This season, he has career averages of 29.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.0 steals. He has a chance to earn his first nomination to the All-NBA team, although a finger injury may hamper his eligibility, as he has only played 61 games.

Regardless, Maxi will be a regular feature for the 76ers as he tries to lead the team to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2001.

Tyrese Maxey is currently out of commission for the Philadelphia 76ers due to a finger injury that will keep him out for at least three weeks.

The timing has been rough, as 76 players are risking their lives to avoid the play-in tournament. Apart from Maxi, Joel Embiid, Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. are also out.

While he is recovering from his finger injury, Maxi took time as a guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, where he talked about playing in the NBA and not being afraid to go up against superstars like LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Maxi and James, who are both managed by Klutch Sports, have developed a close relationship after working out together in the offseason. Maxi, 25, shared funny story The least that can be said about this is that Fallon was very happy with it.

Maxi said, “He (James) is really someone who became close to me. In the summer, we have this little thing where we work out at six in the morning.”

“So the first time it happened, I got there at 5:45, 5:40. I was there before him. Then he gets there at 5:30, and I tried to get there at 5:15. Last time, he got there at five. When I got there, he was all in sweat. I said, ‘You know what, you won.’

James, 41, has a renowned work ethic. The proof is clear: their longevity. There are many stories about how the four-time MVP takes care of his body.

Working with young guys like Maxey and Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks probably gives James extra motivation moving forward.

It has also benefited Maxi, who is enjoying another stellar campaign and has received his second nod to the All-Star Game. He is also on track to be named to the All-NBA team for the first time.

疯狂三月也许是每个大学篮球运动员职业生涯的亮点。还有哪里可以体验赛事带来的氛围呢？很少有体育赛事能与疯狂三月的强度相媲美。不幸的是，有一大批球员无法参加比赛，比如费城 76 人队球星泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey)。

随着疯狂三月再次如火如荼地进行，Maxey 在 X 上表达了他对比赛的看法。这位76人队球星对自己无法参加NCAA锦标赛表示遗憾。

“每年疯狂的三月期间，我都会因为没能参加锦标赛而感到难过……”马克西写道。

马克西随后表示，无论如何，事情结果都很好，他被 76 人队选中的部分原因是他错过了疯狂三月锦标赛。

“然后我想起来了……我可能不会成为一名76人……所以结果很完美！”他说。

马克西在 2020 年 NBA 选秀中于首轮第 21 顺位被 76 人队选中。这位来自肯塔基州的球员在选秀排行榜上的下滑很大程度上是因为缺乏关于他的比赛影片。由于 COVID-19 大流行，2020 年疯狂三月完全取消。马克西不想在大学再呆一年，他决定参加选秀并在那里碰碰运气。

这个决定对马克西来说效果很好。虽然他花了一些时间才站稳脚跟，但这位 76 人队后卫最终成长为联盟最好的后卫之一。他本赛季第二次入选全明星，并与乔尔·恩比德一起成为 76 人队的领军球员。本赛季，马克西场均贡献29分，三分球命中率为37.1%，还有4.1个篮板和6.7次助攻。

不幸的是，马克西上周手指受伤后将缺席两周左右的时间。 76人队目前在东部联盟排名第九，目前仍在季后赛中，但彻底进入季后赛的机会很小。

March Madness is probably the highlight of every college basketball player’s career. Where else can you experience the atmosphere that the tournament brings? Very few sporting events match the intensity of March Madness. Unfortunately, there are a whole group of players who were not able to play in the tournament, like Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey.

With March Madness in full swing once again, Maxi took to X to express his thoughts about the tournament. The 76ers star lamented the fact that he was not able to play in the NCAA Tournament.

“Every year during March Madness I get sad that I don’t get a chance to play in the tournament…” Maxi wrote.

Maxey then went on to say that things worked out great anyway, as he was drafted by the 76ers in part because he missed the March Madness tournament.

“Then I remembered… I probably wouldn’t be a Sixer… so it worked out perfectly!” He said.

Maxi was drafted by the 76ers with the 21st overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft. The Kentucky product fell down the draft board largely due to a lack of game film. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 March Madness was canceled entirely. Not wanting to stay in college another year, Maxi decided to declare for the draft and take his chance there.

This decision was very good for Maxi. Although it took some time for him to find his feet, the 76ers guard eventually became one of the best guards in the league. He was named to his second All-Star Game this season and has been a key player for the 76ers alongside Joel Embiid. This season, Maxi is averaging 29 points per game while making 37.1% of his three-point attempts, as well as 4.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.

Maxi, unfortunately, will be out for the next two weeks after suffering a finger injury last week. The Sixers currently sit ninth in the Eastern Conference, are still in the play-in tournament, but have a long shot at making the playoffs outright.

March Madness is here. The Iowa State Cyclones will battle Tennessee State in a 2/11 matchup in the Midwest Region. The contest begins on Friday at approximately 2:50 p.m. Eastern Time.

In a recent exclusive interview with DJ Siddiqui, Indiana Pacers star point guard and former Cyclone Tyrese Haliburton delivered a long and heartfelt message to his former program as the team heads to the NCAA Tournament. He also talked about his appreciation for being able to stay on the court after being out for so long due to an Achilles injury.

“Every day I feel more appreciated,” Haliburton said. “A huge appreciation for every day. A huge appreciation for every game, for every moment that I get to play. I don’t want to take any time or anything for granted. There’s no question in my mind, I’m thinking about something all the time. As I said before, I talked to these college kids about it as they were getting into this tournament – don’t take this moment for granted. It’s a very special time to play basketball. I talk to guys about it. I talk nonsense.”

If Dejounte Murray and Jayson Tatum are any indication, an Achilles injury is no longer as career-threatening as it once was. Both Murray and Tatum are looking great upon their returns after long absences caused by rupturing their Achilles tendons; East, in particular, has shined for the New Orleans Pelicans and at least given them hope that they can bounce back next year amid a disappointing 2025-26 campaign.

Murray is coming off a 35-point night in a close loss to the Houston Rockets, and he was efficient too, making 14 of his 18 field-goal attempts on the night. Tatum’s shooting isn’t far behind, but he shot 20-14-7 in his latest outing.

While all fans are seeing is the result of their hard work, Murray had to emphasize that his and his partner Achilles’ path to survival is not as easy as it makes it out to be. During the rehab process, it appears that the bond he has formed with Tatum and Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, who is also rehabbing, has made it at least a little easier — as seen this exchange Under one of Murray’s posts on Instagram.

Achilles It’s great to see people supporting each other man pic.twitter.com/ndIZGPUMDi

Dejounte Murray, Jayson Tatum are signs of hope for Tyrese Haliburton

Murray was out for over a year recovering from injury and all that time spent on the sidelines must have been very tough for a man who likes the game early. Tatum is an anomaly, as he returned to play less than a year after rupturing his Achilles. But he seems excited for a Celtics team with new title hopes.

This gives so much hope for the Indiana Pacers that Haliburton can provide a similar response after his much-anticipated return. The Pacers are hoping to pick up where they left off in the 2025 NBA Finals upon Haliburton’s return, and the success stories of Murray and Tatum suggest it’s indeed within the realm of possibility.

Some NBA history was made last night when Bam Adebayo exploded for 83 points. As he continues to recover from injury, the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton explained how Adebayo’s 83 point-game helped him believe the fact that Wilt Chamberlain had 100 points in a game.

“Wilt Chamberlain 100… I don’t know if I believed it or not… but after what I saw yesterday… Wilt had 100”

– ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 12 March 2026

Haliburton was considering the belief that Chamberlain did not reach 100 points. But after seeing Adebayo, he believed it. Adebayo’s 83 points generated some controversy, particularly regarding how he did it. But it was still an amazing feat that was almost unheard of in 2026. Most of the NBA watched Adebayo and contemplated the game, and Haliburton had time to observe as he continued to recover.

Haliburton’s discomfort worsened during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Since then, he has been forced to watch the rest of the NBA while he recovers. The Pacers are currently 15-50, which is the worst record in the NBA. Assuming Haliburton is able to return next season, he could have a top draft pick in the future. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference while attempting to make some noise.

Adebayo played the best game of his career in a blowout win over the Washington Wizards. As everyone talks about this career game, it also put Adebayo’s name in the history books. He is currently third on the Heat in scoring. That’s what makes this monster game so amazing. As Adebayo comes out on top in this game, he will look to continue leading the Heat to victory as they host the Milwaukee Bucks in their next matchup.

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a loss in their latest game against the Atlanta Hawks, and their star player also suffered an injury at the end of the fourth quarter. Tyrese Maxey collided with his own teammate, causing him to fall to the floor, and it looked like his hand was injured as he walked off the court writhing in pain.

According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, many wanted to know how serious the injury was, and it seemed likely that he would miss a few games before returning.

“The 76ers say Tyrese Maxey has a right hamstring injury and will miss at least the next two games,” Siegel, formerly of the Ax, wrote on Twitter.

This is good news for the 76ers as it doesn’t look like he’ll miss much time, but it also isn’t the best news given his current situation. Joel Embiid will be out for at least another week with an injury, and VJ Edgecombe has recently been sidelined with an injury.

Needless to mention, the 76ers have been without Paul George as he is still serving his 25-game suspension.

This means that over the next few games, the 76ers will have to rely on their depth to help them win. The 76ers’ next game will be against the Cleveland Cavaliers, against whom they have not had much success. After this, things get easier in the game as they face the Memphis Grizzlies.

The hope is that Maxey won’t have to miss any more games after that as the 76ers fight to stay atop the Eastern Conference standings. With the loss to the Hawks, they dropped from sixth to eighth in the standings, and could continue to fall if they don’t pick up some wins soon.

Injuries were something that hurt the 76ers last season, and it looks like it’s affecting them once again.

Nick Nurse provided a promising outlook on Tyrese Maxey’s injury after the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.

Maxi suffered an injury in the last minute of the game. The star guard injured his hand with 16 seconds remaining, raising questions about his availability for the next few games.

Nurse reflected on the events after the game via SixersWire. He knows how important it will be to deal with their injuries, including Maxi’s situation.

“Apparently, it’s huge, right?” the nurse told reporters. “Especially with what we’re going through right now, with some guys being out, and obviously, he’s just another key player, but we’ll see. We’ll see. I won’t make any decisions or think about it until we find out for sure.”

“You don’t want something like this to happen,” the nurse concluded. “Guys often get hit hands, jammed fingers and all kinds of things. So, let’s hope that’s the case.”

Nick Nurse, how the 76ers performed against the Hawks

Nick Nurse and the 76ers will have to make their case if Tyrese Maxey misses time with a hand injury. Their 125-116 loss to the Hawks didn’t help matters either.

Four players, including Maxey, scored in double figures for Philadelphia in the loss. Before the injury, he finished with a stat line of 31 points, five assists, four steals and two rebounds. He made 12 of 22 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 from beyond the arc and 4 of 4 from the free-throw line. Quentin Grimes came next with 26 points and six rebounds, Kelly Oubre Jr. put up 24 points and five rebounds, while Trendon Watford added 10 points and two assists.

Philadelphia fell to a 34–29 record on the season, and finished eighth in the Eastern Conference standings. They are above the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets, while falling behind the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic.

The 76ers will look to bounce back in their next game by remaining on the road. They will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 9, tip-off at 7 PM ET.

Kelly Oubre Jr. witnessed disaster during the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to Atlanta. He saw Tyrese Maxi go down in fashion. And Oubre gave a unique account of Maxi’s NBA injury.

Oubre described the moment, via NBC Sports Philadelphia, as “as if there was a car accident right in front of you.” “Two big fast men going at each other.

Aubrey then closed his eyes and “said a little prayer” for his fallen comrade. But he is confident that Maxi will make a comeback.

“He’s a resilient guy,” Oubre said.

When Maxi went down hard, he collided with the Hawks’ Adem Bona. The 76ers star held his arm in pain before heading back inside the locker room.

How many points did Tyrese Maxey score before leaving 76ers-Hawks?

Maxi still managed to cross the 30-point mark, scoring a total of 31 runs in 38 minutes. The injury occurred at the end of the game.

76ers insider Tony Jones of The Athletic reveals where the talent was hurt.

“I’ve been told additional testing will be done tomorrow on Tyrese Maxey’s right finger. Nothing conclusive tonight,” Jones posted on the social media website X, formerly known as Twitter.

Maxi managed to stay ahead of all 76ers scorers in terms of points. Quentin Grimes followed him with 26 points in 41 minutes. Meanwhile, Oubre dropped 24 points in a span of 36 minutes. He also gave four assists.

But as the race for the NBA playoffs heated up, Philadelphia suffered a crucial loss to Atlanta. The Hawks improved to 33-31 overall and are now one game behind the current No. 8 team, the Sixers.

费城 76 人队继续度过本赛季的艰难时期，泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey) 最近谈到了球队如何在阵容耗尽的情况下进行战斗。 76人队在努力保持东部竞争力的同时，一直在与伤病、乔尔·恩比德的伤病以及保罗·乔治的停赛作斗争。

在周三晚上险胜之后，PHLY Sports 的附属公司 PHLY Sixers 在 X（以前的 Twitter）上分享了一段视频，其中 Maxey 谈到了球队如何处理最近几场首发球员缺阵的比赛。

“这不会很容易。我们不会要求它变得容易。今晚我们基本上错过了所有首发球员。伙计们站起来。”

泰瑞斯·马克西：“我认为中场休息后我们的战绩是 4-4。听着，我们现在是 6 号种子。我接受我们现在的处境。

此评论是在周三晚上 76 人队以 106-102 战胜犹他爵士队之后发表的。尽管失去了几位关键贡献者，这位 2026 年 NBA 全明星球员仍然帮助指导了进攻，而轮换阵容则依靠角色球员来结束胜利。

自全明星周末以来，费城队的战绩为 4 胜 4 负，同时还要应对多个阵容挑战。恩比德的受伤使这位球队中锋因右斜拉伤而缺席比赛，迫使俱乐部在这段时间内调整进攻和防守。

乔治的停赛也让阵容中另一个主要得分选择和外线防守球员消失了。结果，马克西承担了更大的进攻角色，而伤病继续重塑费城的轮换阵容。

在此期间，76人队严重依赖进攻来保持竞争力。战胜明尼苏达森林狼队、印第安纳步行者队和迈阿密热火队分别需要135分、135分和124分，可见进攻所承受的压力有多大。

尽管面临恩比德受伤和乔治停赛的不利影响，76人队仍处于东部季后赛的激烈竞争中。如果阵容稳定并且费城的伤病开始缓解，球队仍然可以在赛季末建立势头。

The Philadelphia 76ers are heading into a tough stretch of the season, and Tyrese Maxey recently explained how the team is battling a depleted roster. The 76ers have struggled with injuries, Joel Embiid’s injury status, and Paul George’s suspension while trying to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Following Wednesday night’s narrow win over the PHLY Sixers, X, formerly an affiliate of PHLY Sports, shared a clip on Twitter that shows Maxey speaking about how the team has handled its recent games despite missing several starters.

“It’s not going to be easy. We’re not asking to make it easy. We’re basically missing all of our starters tonight. Get moving, guys.”

Tyrese Maxey: “I think we’re at 4-4 after the break. Listen, we’re the sixth seed right now. We’re staying right where we are.

The comments came after the 76ers’ 106-102 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Despite missing several key contributors, the 2026 NBA All-Star helped direct the offense while the rotation relied on role players to close out the win.

Philadelphia has gone 4-4 since the All-Star break while dealing with several roster challenges. Embiid’s injury has sidelined the franchise center due to a right oblique strain, forcing the club to adjust both offensively and defensively during this stretch.

George’s suspension has also removed another primary scoring option and perimeter defender from the lineup. As a result, Maxey has taken on a larger offensive role while injuries are reshaping the rotation for Philadelphia.

During this period, the 76ers have leaned heavily on aggression to remain competitive. Wins over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat require 135, 135 and 124 points, respectively, which shows how much pressure the offense has endured.

Despite the adversity created by Embiid’s injury and George’s suspension, the 76ers remain in the Eastern Conference playoff race. If the roster stabilizes and Philadelphia’s injuries begin to subside, the team could still build momentum toward the end of the season.

泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey) 已成长为 NBA 真正的超级巨星，费城 76 人队过去几年的伤病困扰为他成为球队最佳球员铺平了道路。马克西正在尽最大努力让76人队保持稳定，尤其是在乔尔·恩比德和保罗·乔治目前缺阵的情况下，在这一点上，费城队在某些晚上无法参加比赛并不是他的错——包括周二对阵圣安东尼奥马刺队的比赛。

尽管如此，马克西还是为自己赢得了数百万粉丝，因为他每晚都承担着繁重的工作量，尽管面临着世界上所有的防守关注，但他仍然保持着一如既往的高效。并且可能没有 一个更大的粉丝 76人队球星中的佼佼者莫过于前76人队后卫兼主教练道格·科林斯。

“泰瑞斯·马克西是我最喜欢的 NBA 球员。我希望这些费城球迷知道他们拥有明星中的明星。他的个性、他的表现、他的微笑、他在比赛中的快乐。我只是认为这对费城这座城市来说是一件了不起的事情，他现在有了一个伟大的搭档 VJ Edgecombe，”柯林斯在周二 76 人队对阵马刺队的比赛前通过 NBC Sports Philadelphia 说道。

76人队陷入两条时间线

76人队努力保住最终成为VJ Edgecombe的选秀权，现在，他们拥有了一支出色的后场来打造球队。然而问题在于，恩比德的健康状况存在着太多挥之不去的不确定性，而乔治因药物相关的停赛也给球队蒙上了另一层阴云。

尽管如此，如果恩比德和乔治最终完全熄火，76人队至少可以轻松地围绕马克西和埃奇科姆进行重建。

Tyrese Maxey has emerged as a legitimate superstar in the NBA, as the Philadelphia 76ers’ injury problems over the past few years have paved the way for him to take the reigns as the team’s best player. Maxey is trying his best to steady the boat for the 76ers, especially with Joel Embiid and Paul George currently out of action, and at this point, it’s not his fault Philly couldn’t compete on a few nights — including a blowout against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.

Whatever the case, Maxi has earned himself millions of fans with the way he carries a heavy workload every night and remains as productive as ever despite facing all the defensive attention around the world. And it can’t happen a big fan star compared to former 76ers guard and head coach Doug Collins.

“Tyreese Maxey is my favorite player in the NBA. I hope these Philadelphia fans know they have a star of stars. His personality, his performance, his smile, the joy he plays the game with. I think it’s a huge thing for this city of Philadelphia and they’ve got a great sidekick now in VJ Edgecombe,” Collins said during Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, via NBC Sports Philadelphia. Said before the 76ers game.

76 people are stuck in two timelines

The 76ers worked hard to keep the selection that ultimately became VJ Edgecombe, and now, they have a skilled backcourt to build the team around. The problem, however, is that there remains a lot of uncertainty surrounding Embiid’s health, and George’s drug-related suspension has cast another cloud over the team.

Be that as it may, if Embiid and George are ultimately completely gone, the 76ers can at least have an easier time rebuilding around Maxey and Edgecombe.

费城 76 人队周二以 131-91 输给圣安东尼奥马刺队，士气尤其低落，费城 76 人队在国家电视台上的一场 NBC 复古比赛中表现得令人尴尬。正如发生此类损失后的情况一样，情绪会变得非常放大。

赛后，76人队后卫泰瑞斯·马克西 表达了他的感受 关于他的球队决定交易贾里德·麦凯恩的决定，76人队主席达里​​尔·莫雷对此进行了辩护，称他们正在高价出售 2024 年首轮选秀权。

“贾里德是我们的亲密朋友。伟大的队友。伟大的人。我绝对认为我们想念他。当然。我不会撒谎说我不想念贾里德，”马克西通过 NBC Sports Philadelphia 说道。 “但我为他感到高兴。我看着他 [in] 俄克拉荷马城。确保我希望他每晚都表现出色。”

“我不会撒谎说我不想念贾里德。” pic.twitter.com/qjHNT9hJpT

尽管如此，马克西表示，76人队并没有过多关注他们无法控制的事情，因为这就是野兽的本性。

“我不认为我们正在考虑这个问题…… [But] 这归根结底是一桩生意。我见过很多人被交易，但我不想被交易。你不能老想着这个，”马克西补充道。

76人队现在可以使用贾里德·麦凯恩

76人队决定交易麦凯恩的理由并不难理解。他们有如此多的后卫深度，随着马克西成为球队的主要后卫选择，而VJ Edgecombe与他并肩作战，麦凯恩最多只能成为球队的第六人。

尽管如此，76人队仍然有着雄心勃勃的雄心，拥有麦凯恩这位三分线外投篮出色的后卫可能有助于缓解他们对深度的担忧。相反，他们现在不得不看着麦凯恩追随以赛亚·乔的脚步，成为他们输给俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的另一位才华横溢的后卫。

The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a particularly disappointing 131-91 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, in which Philly gave an embarrassing effort on national television in the NBC Throwback Game. And as is often the case after this type of loss, emotions can run high.

After the game, 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey expressed how he feels Regarding his team’s decision to trade Jared McCann, which 76ers president Daryl Morey defended by saying they were selling high on their 2024 first-round pick.

“Jared was a close friend of ours. Great teammate. Great guy. I definitely think we miss him. Absolutely. I won’t lie and say I don’t miss Jared,” Maxey said via NBC Sports Philadelphia. “But I’m happy for him. I look up to him.” [in] Ok. Sure I expect him to perform well every night.

“I’m not going to lie and say I don’t miss Jared.” pic.twitter.com/qjHNT9hJpT

– NBC Sports Philadelphia (@NBCSPhilly) 4 March 2026

Still, Maxey said the 76ers aren’t focusing too much on what they can’t control, because that’s just the nature of the beast.

“I don’t think we’re considering it. … [But] It’s a business at the end of the day. I have seen a lot of people trading, but I don’t want to trade. You can’t pay attention to that,” Maxie said.

The 76ers could use Jared McCain right now

The reasoning behind the 76ers’ decision to trade McCain isn’t so hard to understand. They had a lot of guard depth, and with Maxey established as the main guard option for the team and VJ Edgecombe alongside him, McCain was going to perform best as the sixth man for the team.

Nonetheless, the 76ers have contending aspirations, and McCann, a guard who shoots well from beyond the arc, could help ease their depth concerns. Instead, they now have to look at McCann as another talented guard following in the footsteps of Isaiah Joe who they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey continues his progression as one of the NBA’s deadliest players, and at the rate he’s progressing, he may find himself rewriting the record books.

The 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 114-98 on Sunday at TD Garden. Nevertheless, Maxi once again performed exceptionally well and scored a game-high 33 points. He also had three rebounds, six assists and two blocks.

In the fourth quarter, he made a fallaway jumper to keep them safe. In the process, he also reached an impressive feat. he did his calculations 65th game With at least 30 points and five assists, he surpassed 76ers legend Wilt Chamberlain for fourth most in team history.

Whenever you surpass Chamberlain on any list, you know you’re doing something excellent.

Chamberlain, who led Philadelphia to a title in 1967, was very talented in his heyday. Maxi would be honored to know that he has succeeded the late Hall of Famer.

The 25-year-old Maxi had to carry the heavy load for the 76ers against the Celtics, as Joel Embiid sat out again with an oblique injury. Embiid has already missed 27 games this season.

Maxey received support from VJ Edgecombe, who recorded 23 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Andre Drummond, who started in Embiid’s place, contributed 10 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals. However, their efforts were not enough to overthrow the Celtics.

Philadelphia’s three-game winning streak was snapped and it dropped to 33–27, while Boston improved to 40–20.

The Sixers will take on the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Miami Heat 124-117 on Thursday night. In the win, Maxey led all Sixers players with 28 points, although was a poor 9 of 25 from the floor. Nevertheless, the 76ers guard made history by surpassing Allen Iverson for most triples made in franchise history.

Entering the game, he had made 882 triples in his career, three less than Iverson. He knocked down five of them in the win, making 5 of 12 from deep, including four in the first quarter.

After the win, Maxey shared his thoughts on surpassing Iverson.

“Honestly, it’s just a blessing. I’m so happy, man. I’m blessed,” Maxi said humbly.

“I thank God. I thank the 76ers organization for preparing me, trusting me and believing in me… I’m grateful to my coaches, Doc [Rivers], [Nick] Nurse, she gave me a lot of confidence.

“Last but not least are my teammates, man. Everyone… I yelled to Tobias. [Harris] First. My freshman year, he told me I was a great shooter, even though I wasn’t shooting as well as I wanted to. Finally, Joel [Embiid]. He had been thinking about me shooting 10 threes a game since my sophomore or sophomore year. I appreciate.”

After a few relatively steady years in Philadelphia, Maxey has taken off like a rocket this season. He is averaging better than 29 points per game, which is good enough for fourth in the NBA. But he has become more than just a lethal scorer.

The 76ers guard averages nearly seven assists, four rebounds and, perhaps most impressively, two steals per game.

The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Miami Heat on Thursday. During the contest, star guard Tyrese Maxey made franchise history by surpassing one of Allen Iverson’s team records.

After scoring a three-pointer at the end of the first quarter, Maxey surpassed Iverson’s three-pointer record for the 76ers. Iverson initially set the record with 885 three-pointers during his time in Philadelphia.

“Tyreese Maxey passes Allen Iverson for most 3-point field goals in 76ers history.”

Maxi will have the opportunity to continue adding to his franchise record. Especially considering that the six-year veteran signed a five-year, $204 million contract through the summer of 2024. That deal locks him in Philadelphia through the 2028-29 campaign.

The 25-year-old guard has emerged as a superstar in Philadelphia since joining the club in 2020. He ultimately had a breakout year in the 2023–24 campaign, earning the Most Improved Player of the Year award for his efforts.

Tyrese Maxey continues to play at a high level, as he entered Thursday’s game averaging 29.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.0 steals per game, while shooting 46.7% from the field and 37.5% from beyond the three-point line. His performances this season earned him the second All-Star award of his career.

Maxi broke Iverson’s record which was set in the 2009–10 season. It took almost 16 years to break that franchise record. Tyrese Maxey was able to surpass Allen Iverson’s three-point record in just six seasons, while it took the 76ers legend just over 10 seasons to reach 885 three-pointers. However, the game has changed significantly since then, as players shoot more threes than ever before.

週日晚上，費城 76 人隊在客場擊敗明尼蘇達灰狼隊，取得了 2025-26 賽季最令人印象深刻的勝利之一。正如今年經常出現的情況一樣，泰瑞斯馬克西 (Tyrese Maxey) 帶領 76 人隊一路領先，以 16 投 28 中的高效命中率拿下 39 分。

賽後，馬克西談到了他與灰狼隊球星安東尼·愛德華茲的關係，後者在這場失利中得到了28分，並透露兩人已經競爭了十多年。

根據《明尼蘇達明星論壇報》的克里斯海因報道，馬克西說，「有我們與螞蟻隊比賽的錄像，我想我們當時是五年級」。

馬克西也將五年級的愛德華茲描述為「矮小、胖乎乎的、強壯的」。

愛德華茲不再矮小或胖乎乎的，但他仍然是當今NBA最強大的得分後衛之一，他是灰狼隊中為數不多的能夠在周日對陣76人隊的比賽中穩定上場的球員之一。

然而，在大多數情況下，費城隊在控制愛德華茲的支援陣容方面做得很紮實，贏得了比賽的全部四個季度，輕鬆取得了勝利。

76人隊本季目前戰績為31勝26負，當一切塵埃落定後，他們很有可能成為東部聯盟前六名種子之一。讓費城隊印象更深刻的是，球隊在喬爾恩比德和保羅喬治都缺席的情況下贏得了這場勝利。恩比德目前正在處理全明星週末期間爆發的脛骨問題，而喬治因違反聯盟物質政策而仍在服刑 25 場禁賽。

無論如何，76人隊接下來將在周二晚上客場對陣印第安納步行者隊。

On Sunday, at the Target Center, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey thrilled fans with a powerful third quarter dunk over Minnesota Timberwolves stars Anthony Edwards and Jon Beringer. This play helped Philly cruise to a 135–108 victory.

Maxey, who had recently played with Edwards in the All-Star Game, scored a team-high 39 points on 16 of 28 shooting. The win snapped the Sixers’ four-game losing streak, leaving them at 31–26, and ended Minnesota’s three-game winning streak, leaving them at 35–23.

Even after Maxey threw a large poster at Edwards, he remained relaxed and smiling, showing no frustration towards the rising 76ers star.

“He’s unbelievable, man, he already knows he’s one of my favorite players to watch in the league. He even attacked me today, I really don’t like it,” Edwards told reporters after the game.

“I didn’t know he was going to lay it down… I finally turned my head. I was thinking he was going to lay it on, then he went and punched it… That’s why we play the game, I’m not mad about it.”

“I didn’t know he was going downhill…finally my head turned. I was thinking he was going to lay it up, then he went and punched it…that’s why we play the game, I’m not mad at it.”

Maxi performed exceptionally well despite the absence of Joel Embiid and a Paul George-less 76ers team, with neither star taking the court.

Edwards scored 28 points and grabbed nine rebounds, but Maxey’s game-high 39 points led Philadelphia to a dominant win over Minnesota.

Rudy Gobert sat out due to a one-game suspension, and Nazi Reed missed the game with a shoulder injury, leaving Minnesota shorthanded.

Edwards and Maxey would meet once again on April 3 for the last regular season game between Minnesota and Philadelphia.

Even after the viral dunk and the tough loss, Edwards remains a must-watch player at just 24 years old. Whether he is underrated can be debated, but there is no doubt that he is one of the top talents in the game.

For now, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves will look to bounce back when they face the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Tyrese Maxey had a stellar performance as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 135-108 at Target Center on Sunday, giving Anthony Edwards a frontcourt seat — unfortunately for him.

Maxey had a game-high 39 points on 16-of-28 shooting with three rebounds, eight assists and two steals. The 76ers ended their four-game losing streak and improved to 31–26.

They also snapped the Timberwolves’ three-game winning streak, which came to 35–23. Minnesota played without Rudy Gobert and Nazi Reed due to a one-game suspension and shoulder injury, respectively.

In the third quarter, Maxey gave the 76ers even more momentum after making strong dunks over Anthony Edwards and Jon Beringer.

After the game, Edwards acknowledged Maxi’s huge slam and gave his teammate the All-Star high praise.

“He’s unbelievable. He already knows he’s one of my favorite players to watch in the league. He even attacked me today. I really don’t like it. He played very well,” Edwards said in a video posted by Timberwolves reporter Andrew Dukowitz.

“I didn’t know he was going down. I just turned my head. I was thinking he was going to lay it up, then he went and punched it. It was like a little early dunk, too. I didn’t even get a chance to stop it. But yeah, that’s why we play the game. I’m not mad at it.”

Ant-Man has always kept it real during interviews, and it’s nice to hear him give Maxi props. While Edwards, 24, is known for talking a lot on the floor, he is equally generous with compliments.

He finished with 28 points on 11-of-19 shooting, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks. He also had a game-high seven turnovers.

The Timberwolves will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

在全明星赛上组成明星队后，费城 76 人队后卫泰瑞斯·马克西和明尼苏达森林狼队后卫安东尼·爱德华兹回到了对立的双方。

马克西周日确实提醒了爱德华兹这件事。

随着76人队在第三节的高潮，马克西攻击篮筐并强行上篮 左手猛击 超越爱德华兹和中锋琼·贝林格，让目标中心球馆的观众惊叹不已。

当马克西驶入禁区时，他显然有不良意图。

虽然这位25岁的后卫以速度和爆发力而闻名，但他绝对可以将其击倒。

爱德华兹拥有相当多的海报，他一定很欣赏马克西无所畏惧的果酱。

X 上的粉丝们确实做到了。

“他跳了起来，就像重力忘记了他一样，”@LinLyn99 说。

“马克西猛击多名后卫？太恶心了，”@shydyor 补充道。

在这一点上，有人可能会说马克西现在是 76 人队最重要的球员，因为乔尔·恩比德仍在与健康作斗争。自从第二年爆发以来，马克西一直保持稳定。

与主要依靠恩比德相比，马克西与 VJ Edgecombe 的后场二人组也为费城带来了更有活力和高辛烷值的进攻。

马克西拿下39分、3个篮板、8次助攻和2次抢断。

After teaming up for Team Stars in the All-Star Game, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards are back on opposite sides.

Maxi made sure to remind Edwards about it on Sunday.

When Maxi moved into the lane he clearly had bad intentions.

While the 25-year-old guard is more known for his speed and explosiveness, he can definitely throw it down.

Edwards, who has quite a collection of posters, must appreciate Maxi’s fearless jam.

X fans certainly did.

“He bounced like gravity had forgotten him,” said @LinLyn99.

@shydyor said, “Maxi attacking multiple defenders? Bad.”

At this point, one could argue that Maxey is now the 76ers’ most important player, as Joel Embiid struggles with his health. Maxi has been performing consistently since his second year out.

The backcourt pairing of Maxey with VJ Edgecombe has given Philadelphia a more dynamic and high-octane attack than relying mostly on Embiid.

Maxi had 39 points, three rebounds, eight assists and two steals.

Tyrese Maxey had a clear message for his Philadelphia 76ers team after their disappointing loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night.

Maxi is halfway through his sixth season in the NBA with the 76ers. He worked his way up the ranks to become one of the best guards in the league, helping the 76ers remain steadfast as a playoff contender. However, they are vulnerable to the unexpected loss they suffered against the Pelicans.

Maxey reflected on the loss after the game, via NBC Sports Philadelphia. He commented on how he and the team needed to control the pace from start to finish while dealing with the ups and downs of the competition.

“It’s going to take a lot. You know what I mean. As soon as you dig yourself a hole, only America can get out of it. You know what I mean? Like we’re in this thing together? You know what I mean, through the highs, through the lows, through the peaks, through the valleys. You know what I mean? We’ve said that since day one, and it’s that way. We really Played a good half, then we got off to a good start in the third, honestly. And you know, it’s hard to get that momentum back, but it’s too late.

“It’s going to take a lot.”

Tyrese Maxey, how the 76ers played against the Pelicans

Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers will be active in the playoff picture this season. However, their latest loss to the Pelicans leaves questions to answer for them moving forward.

Four players, including Maxey, scored in double figures for Philadelphia in the loss. He finished with a stat line of 27 points, seven assists, five steals and three rebounds. He shot 9 of 23 from the field, including 2 of 11 from beyond the arc and 7 of 8 from the free-throw line. Kelly Oubre Jr. was next with 25 points and five rebounds, VJ Edgecombe had 14 points and five rebounds, while Quentin Grimes added 11 points and three assists.

Philadelphia improved to a 30–26 record on the season and finished sixth in the Eastern Conference standings. They are above the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic, while trailing the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers.

After four consecutive losses, the 76ers will look to get back into the win column in their next match. They remain on the road when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 22nd at 7pm ET.

As Indiana Pacers franchise star Tyrese Haliburton continues to recover from his nagging injury in last year’s NBA Finals, his team remains in last place in the Eastern Conference standings through the All-Star break. As he moves forward this season and looks forward to next season, Haliburton will release a new colorway of his first signature PUMA Hali 1 sneakers as he continues to grow his catalog.

Check out our sneakers news for more upcoming releases and breaking content!

After signing an endorsement deal with PUMA Basketball in 2024, Haliburton’s first signature sneaker hits retailers in September 2025. The refreshed silhouette, designed by sneaker mind and artist Salehe Bembury, first arrived in a pink “Hibiscus” colorway, followed quickly by a blue “Opal” ensemble. The PUMA Hali 1 recently arrived in a neutral gray “Smoke” colorway, offering a different look for the versatile sneaker.

Following the theme of fruits and precious stones, this next dual-tone “Citrus” colorway combines a vibrant color palette with cool tones and balanced color combinations, which Bembury has made a point of in previous creations. Next NBA season, we can definitely expect Haliburton to include this pair with the Pacers’ yellow uniform.

First teased on social media by Haliburton himself, this pair comes in a vibrant orange/yellow/teal colorway. The upper features three shades of Orange across several different panels, joined by a textured Light Green/Yellow midsole. The treaded outsole features a Teal Green hue that features the Haliburton logo on the rear heel and tongue.

Overall, we’ve seen a more monochromatic look in previous releases, but this release sees multiple shades coming together for what might be the best look of this shoe yet. We’re still waiting for a hard release date, but PUMA’s official retailer images hint at something on the very near horizon.

The PUMA Hali 1 is available now via PUMA retailers for a standard $130. The shoes come in full family sizes and with three colorways currently available, we should expect more to drop during this season’s NBA playoffs and the upcoming offseason.

总而言之，我们在之前的版本中看到了更多的单色外观，但这个版本的特点是多种色调紧密地结合在一起，这可能是这款鞋迄今为止最好的配色。我们仍在等待确切的发布日期，但 PUMA 的官方零售商图片表明即将发生的事情。

PUMA Hali 1 现已通过 PUMA 零售商发售，标准售价为 130 美元。该鞋款有全系列尺码，目前已推出三种配色，我们应该期待在本赛季的 NBA 季后赛和即将到来的休赛期会有更多的发售。

您对 Tyrese Haliburton 的标志性运动鞋有何看法？

Even after finishing bottom of the Eastern Conference a year after the Indiana Pacers reached the NBA Finals, Pascal Siakam received so much love from NBA coaches that he still got the nod to the All-Star Game. Siakam has been a soldier all season for a Pacers team that is simply biding its time, and he got justly rewarded for it.

As the festivities ended, Siakam posted photos and videos on Instagram documenting his experience of making it to the All-Star Game for the fourth time. And the Pacers star certainly enjoyed his experience with Team World, even though they lost both of their games in extremely close fashion.

Siakam got plenty of support in his latest post, including from his Pacers co-star Tyrese Haliburton, whose eventual comeback from a heartbreaking torn Achilles in Game 7 of the NBA Finals is expected to get Indiana back into the title picture.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,” Haliburton wrote in the comments section, highlighting Siakam’s four All-Star appearances.

Haliburton and Siakam have proven that they can step up their games when it matters most for the Pacers, making them ideal players for Indiana to build a competitive team.

Pascal Siakam, Pacers face tough gap

Haliburton’s absence may grab most of the headlines, but the Pacers have been so hurt on almost every front that they’ve never had a chance to remain semi-competitive. Obi Toppin has missed a lot of time. So are Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard. Indiana began the season without TJ McConnell. Luck did not favor him this season.

Siakam’s All-Star nod at least helps cover some of the sting of the tough hiatus he’s experiencing. But next season, the Pacers will mean business, especially with the return of Haliburton and Ivica Zubac.

Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker revealed that while the 3-Point Contest invite surprised him last weekend, he couldn’t escape the OG label from others, including first-time All-Star Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Booker, 29, was the elder statesman of Team USA stars, among his fifth selections at the star-studded event.

For this, seeing Booker on the same team as him came as a surprise For Holmgren.

“Is that Devin Booker? On the young team? He could stretch it out a few years,” Holmgren said.

76ers All-Star Tyrese Maxey gave Booker the same treatment.

“How are you, old man?” Maxey said, to which Booker resigned from being one of the older players on the All-Star Game team.

“I’m the old man here, huh?” Booker said. “That’s madness.”

Chet Holmgren: “Is that Devin Booker? On the young team? He could stretch it out a few years.”

In the end, Team USA Stars, including Chet Holmgren and Tyrese Maxey, defeated Team USA Stripes. Nevertheless, this was possibly the first time that Booker was the oldest player on his team.

Devin Booker hints at retirement from 3-point contest

Suns All-Star Devin Booker fell three points short of winning this year’s 3-Point Contest, losing in the final round as he missed his final three shots that could have crowned him champion. The Blazers’ Damian Lillard won with a final score of 29 to Booker’s 27, despite having the highest score in the final round (30).

According to Duane Rankin of AZ Central, after losing by two points, Booker talked about the 2026 3-Point Contest, which would potentially be the last contest he will participate in.

“It hurt a little bit. I wanted it so bad. I wish I was defending it in Phoenix, but if I get an invite it’ll probably be the last time next year. I’m looking forward to it,” Booker said, according to Duane Rankin of AZ Central, formerly of AZ Central, on Twitter.

Lillard, who missed a game due to his Achilles injury, brought the trophy back to Portland.

On Sunday evening, NBA All-Star weekend concluded with the big game (or games in this case) at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Among those who kicked off the event was Philadelphia 76ers star guard Tyrese Maxey, who is enjoying a great 2025-26 season so far this year.

This was Maxi’s second All-Star nomination of his career, having previously returned to the team in 2024, and recently, the difference the star saw between this time and his first outing was 100% real.

According to Gina Mizell of the Enquirer, Maxi said, “I feel very little out of place.” “[Two years ago, I] Was nervous. This is your first time. You don’t know when to talk, when not to talk. Now I go into my team’s locker room, I was the second oldest guy. “I played against guys who were like that growing up, and it was really fun to be in the locker room.”

In fact, Maxey has played a veteran role not only in the All-Star Game, but also on the 76ers, serving as a mentor to rookie sensation VJ Edgecombe so far this year.

Maxey and Edgecomb have teamed up to create one of the most explosive backcourts anywhere in the NBA, destroying opposing defenses with his lightning speed and ability to make tough shots from the perimeter.

Maxey and the 76ers will be hoping that Joel Embiid is able to stay at least somewhat healthy during the 2025-26 season, and Paul George is able to return to form after serving the remainder of his 25-game suspension.

If things like that happen, and Maxey and Edgecombe continue their torrid pace from the first half of the year, the 76ers won’t be an opponent anyone will want to see come playoff time.

The 76ers next face off on Thursday evening at home against the Atlanta Hawks.

在 2025 年和 2026 年的前幾周經歷了一場絕對的撕裂之後，費城 76 人隊的球迷們一直在敲桌子——並投票箱——讓泰瑞斯·馬克西進入全明星賽。

馬克西自在肯塔基大學效力以來一直是一名優秀的得分手，他在第 6 年為 76 人隊大幅提升了進攻能力，成為自阿倫·艾弗森以來場均得分最多的後衛，同時要求對方防守和教練的尊重。

幸運的是，馬克西的努力得到了回報，他不僅入選了全明星首發，而且還獲得了所有美國出生球員中最多的選票。但“瘋狂”馬克西是如何得知這項殊榮的呢？事實證明，他的新秀後場隊友 VJ Egdecombe 提供了一點幫助，他在接住一些 Z 時通知了這位殺手。

“嗯，下午 2 點就像我睡覺的時間。所以我睡著了。然後 VJ 多次給我打電話，所以我能聽到我的鈴聲響起。我想，他為什麼打電話給我？我接了電話，他尖叫著給我看電視，我說，‘好吧。’我們，你知道，我們把它切碎了一點，對此我很感激，”馬克西解釋道。

“然後我媽媽打電話給我，然後我說，聽著，我要回去睡覺了。我今晚有工作。但我很感激，伙計。我只是感謝我的支持系統和我周圍的每個人，我對此非常感激。”

對於76人隊來說幸運的是，馬克西在取得如此重大成就後並沒有滿足於自己的成就，在周一晚上球隊戰勝印第安納步行者隊的比賽中拿下29分、8次助攻和職業生涯最高的8次搶斷。最好的部分是什麼？賽后他和埃奇科姆也分享了美好的時刻，表明雖然他們可能並不總是在所有事情上達成一致，但他們是費城未來幾年可以信賴的後場球員。

泰瑞斯·馬克西 (Tyrese Maxey) 講述他如何發現自己被提名為全明星首發：

“嗯，下午兩點是我睡覺的時間。所以我睡著了。”

在馬丁·路德·金紀念日舉行的 CFP 全國冠軍賽中，印第安納州橄欖球隊以 27-21 戰勝邁阿密隊，取得了突破性進展，印第安納州必定熱鬧非凡。費爾南多·門多薩 (Fernando Mendoza) 是 2026 年 NFL 選秀的潛在狀元秀，他將他的球隊帶到了應許之地，而印第安納步行者隊 (Indiana Pacers) 球星泰瑞斯·哈利伯頓 (Tyrese Haliburton) 本身就是一名令人難以置信的四分衛，看到家鄉球隊達到大學橄欖球的頂峰，他感到無比興奮。

印第安納州在比賽還剩一分多鐘時以一記射門鎖定勝局，馬拉奇·托尼最後時刻的達陣讓印第安納州隊大汗淋漓，這足以讓邁阿密隊陷入困境。這位步行者球星發表了一條衷心的信息，繼續擁抱印第安納州作為自己的州（他來自威斯康星州奧什科甚）。

“一個州從來沒有應該得到更多的東西。恭喜@IndianaFootball❤️，”哈利伯頓在他的 X 官方賬戶（以前的 Twitter）上寫道。

哈利伯頓比幾乎所有人都清楚，體育運動的成功對印第安納州人民的意義有多大。步行者隊在 2025 年闖入 NBA 總決賽的過程中獲得了瘋狂的支持，而印第安納橄欖球隊的突破對於他們已經如此接近贏得總冠軍的球迷來說無疑是一種宣洩。

步行者隊能否追隨印第安納足球的腳步？

印第安人隊在 Curt Cignetti 的帶領下經歷瞭如此迅速的轉變，連續兩個賽季打出了令人難以置信的足球表現，使他們有資格獲得 CFP 資格。 2024年，他們在CFP首輪失利，但今年，他們以不敗賽季和出色的表現完成了突破。

至於步行者隊，他們可能是聯盟沉睡的巨人。他們 2025 年 NBA 總決賽陣容中的大部分核心球員都受傷了，包括哈利伯頓，而且一些陣容調整，加上 2026 年的高樂透選秀權，應該會讓他們在 2026-27 賽季的重要反彈賽季中保持良好狀態。

在印第安納步行者隊充滿成長煩惱的賽季中，有一個時刻非常特別。週五，印第安納隊以 127-119 戰胜新奧爾良鵜鶘隊，老將後衛 TJ 麥康奈爾將自己的名字銘刻在 NBA 歷史上。他成為歷史上第二位以替補身份獲得職業生涯助攻 3,000 次的球員。這項罕見的成就此前只有路·威廉姆斯才能實現，這引起了球隊球星泰瑞斯·哈利伯頓的立即反應。後者在社交媒體上稱這一里程碑“瘋狂”和“特別”。它突顯了麥康奈爾從落選秀到精英預備隊組織者的不可思議的旅程。

麥康奈爾很早就達到了目標。作為他一貫的高能量場上領導力的一部分，他在第一節送出了歷史性的助攻。現在，這位來自亞利桑那州的球員已進入 NBA 的第 11 個賽季，他早已被譽為聯盟最可靠的替補指揮之一。他將不懈的步伐與敏銳的決策結合起來。麥康奈爾在 2025-26 賽季場均貢獻 10.0 分和 4.9 次助攻，繼續成為球隊尋求穩定的穩定力量。

這種一致性對於印第安納本賽季來說是難以捉摸的。步行者隊目前戰績10勝32負，排名東部墊底。傷病很早就導致了勢頭的下滑，並且經常發生這種情況。哈利伯頓的跟腱傷勢最為嚴重。這迫使安德魯·內姆哈德（Andrew Nembhard）承擔了更大的角色，而帕斯卡·西亞卡姆（Pascal Siakam）承擔了主要的得分負擔。勝利很少，但努力卻並非如此。

對於麥康奈爾來說，這一里程碑為他堅持不懈的職業生涯增添了新的篇章。儘管今年早些時候因腿筋受傷缺席了比賽，但他仍然是一名聲音領袖和定調者。在一個艱難的賽季中，他歷史性的夜晚以及哈利伯頓的公開致敬提醒人們，即使在失利的情況下，有意義的時刻仍然很重要。
