Asked about Sixers’ group runs, Daryl Morey said Tyrese Maxey has been an extremely vocal leader both here + in Dallas/LA.
“He’s really stepped up into a big leadership role as he has in the past, but I could see him even becoming a more out front leader of the team this year.” https://t.co/O9KK2OfoRH

The Philadelphia 76ers will be looking to put a miserable 2024-25 season behind them when they convene for training camp beginning on Saturday. The Sixers were expected to contend for a title, but instead finished 24-58 as injuries ravaged the roster.
Heading into the new season, the Sixers will once again be looking to their star trio to lead the way. Joel Embiid and Paul George will be looking to bounce back from their own injury troubles, so the leadership mantle continues to be held by Tyrese Maxey for this group.
President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey gave high praise to Maxey for his leadership throughout the summer as he has done his best to get everybody in the gym working out together to begin building chemistry moving forward.
If Maxey is going to continue being this vocal and active leader, then the Sixers are going to be in a much better space moving forward. He has always been a determined player to get better each and every day and this is just another example of how he has grown as a leader.
