The Philadelphia 76ers have been treading water this season with Joel Embiid and Paul George, among others, missing time, but Tyrese Maxey has been the biggest constant.

The Philadelphia 76ers expect to have Paul George in the lineup again on Thursday night, but the Milwaukee Bucks won't be as lucky with Giannis Antetokounmpo when the clubs meet for the first time this season in Milwaukee.

Tyrese Maxey is having the standout season of his career, taking a clear step forward for the Philadelphia 76ers. A fresh contender has emerged in the 2025-26 NBA regular-season MVP conversation: Tyrese Maxey.

Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett each scored 22 points and the Raptors won their fifth straight game, surging in the third quarter to beat the 76ers 121-112 on Wednesday night.

Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points, Paul George had nine points and seven rebounds in his season debut and the Sixers rallied for a victory over the short-handed Clippers.

Paul George is among those gushing about Maxey's growth: "This is similar to what Allen Iverson once did for the city."

Philadelphia aims to stop its three-game road losing streak with a victory against Milwaukee. Thursday's matchup is the first this season between the teams.
