The vibes inside the Philadelphia 76ers locker room have felt fun this season, and their strong performances have played a big role in that. However, their loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers last Wednesday appeared to change the mood, as Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe were seen locked in a heated and animated exchange. Things have shifted since then.<\/p>\n
Earlier today, following Philly<\/a>\u2018s win over a struggling Indiana Pacers side, Maxey and Edgecombe were cracking jokes with one another and laughing. Still, they found time to take a few digs at each other.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Maxey had an excellent game, scoring 29 points, with 8 assists and 8 steals, leading the team to a 113-104 victory. Edgecombe<\/a> chipped in, too, with 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. But it was the two\u2019s interaction during the postgame interview that caught everyone\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the record, we do not hate each other,\u201d Edgecombe said on the Sixers\u2019 postgame show, clarifying that what happened between him and Maxey last week was simply teammates going at one another in the heat of the moment. Maxey, however, decided to stretch it.<\/p>\n \u201cI hate you, don\u2019t talk to me ever again, and go in the locker room,\u201d the 2026 All-Star starter jokingly replied.<\/p>\n The interaction was a callback to the two getting into it mid-game against the Cavaliers<\/a>. It was a minor scuffle, something that is fairly normal when teammates clash in the heat of competition. Still, some interpreted it as a sign that tensions were rising between Maxey and Edgecombe.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n After tonight\u2019s performance, however, it is clear the two were simply caught up in the moment. Maxey and Edgecombe could be the future of the Sixers, and it is important that they continue to build strong chemistry. After all, last year\u2019s first-round pick, Jared McCain, was recently sent down to the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League.<\/p>\n All in all, it was a playful exchange after today\u2019s win that put any controversy between Maxey<\/a>and Edgecombe to rest. The Sixers are now 23\u201318, good for fifth in the Eastern Conference. Furthermore, the backcourt duo is enjoying an excellent campaign.<\/p>\n Maxey currently sits fifth in the betting odds for the MVP award, while Edgecombe is third in the Rookie of the Year race. Together, they have formed a dynamic duo that has sparked Philadelphia throughout the season. If former MVP Joel Embiid can stay healthy for a playoff run, the Sixers could prove to be a tough out.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The post \u201cI Hate You\u201d: Tyrese Maxey Hilariously Confesses His Hatred For VJ Edgecombe On Live TV<\/a> appeared first on The SportsRush<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The vibes inside the Philadelphia 76ers locker room have felt fun this season, and their strong performances have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":548384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3769],"tags":[679,7,193,126,1255,936,6,678,207,3817,1263,971],"class_list":{"0":"post-548383","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-76ers","8":"tag-76ers","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-cleveland-cavaliers","11":"tag-indiana-pacers","12":"tag-jared-mccain","13":"tag-joel-embiid","14":"tag-nba","15":"tag-philadelphia","16":"tag-philadelphia-76ers","17":"tag-philadelphia76ers","18":"tag-tyrese-maxey","19":"tag-vj-edgecombe"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115926117240317247","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
