Tyrese Maxey named Third-Team All-NBA for 2025-26 season
Fifth-year guard Tyrese Maxey was officially named to the All-NBA Third-Team, marking the first All-NBA nod of his career, but probably not the last.
Maxey became the fourth player in Sixers franchise history to earn a Third-Team nod and the first Sixers player to secure any All-NBA recognition since Joel Embiid earned a First-Team nod for the 2022-23 season.

Maxey was joined on the All-NBA Third-Team by Jalen Duren of the Detroit Pistons, Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks and Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets.
