Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey is a maniacal worker as he is somebody who is always going to be in the gym working on his game and continuing to take steps forward as a player. He took steps forward as a leader in 2024-25 while also attacking against waves of defenders, and now, he is looking to take another step.
Maxey was in the gym working with trainer Chris Johnson while working alongside 2-time NBA champion, and current Memphis Grizzlies guard, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The 12-year veteran out of Georgia has won titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 and the Denver Nuggets in 2023.
Maxey and Caldwell-Pope put in some work in the gym on a variety of jump shots as the young All-Star continues to soak up any knowledge he can from the veterans in this league.
Maxey was limited to only 52 games due to a variety of injuries in what was a lost season for Philadelphia. Now, the Sixers will be looking for him to bounce back next to Joel Embiid and Paul George in order to bounce back from a miserable 24-58 season that was decimated by injuries and things they can’t control.
