The news was expected at the start of Free Agency, it is now confirmed: Tyrese Maxey extends at the maximum rate in Philadelphia. The Sixers, a few hours after recovering Paul George, secure a devastating Big 3 for the coming seasons.
Tyrese’s final seasons left Philly’s management with no choice, this way to the MAXey rate.
After the new disappointment in the first round of the Playoffs, Daryl Morey had warned that he was considering a summer with a capital E. On the free agent market, the front office worked on the files Andre Drummond, Eric Gordon, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George before turning to the 23-year-old nugget. A restricted free agent who has reached the end of his rookie contract, the guard was only waiting for the pen to sign a maximum extension.
According to information reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, the five-year contract is fully guaranteed and does not come with any options. This new deal secures Tyrese Maxey’s presence in Pennsylvania until he turns 28.

Voted Most Improved Player thanks to a superb season at 25.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.2 assistsTyrese Maxey has perfectly supported Joel Embiid this season. What’s more, he has shown himself capable of carrying the house during the 2023 MVP’s injury with parking lot bombs and neat layups. His series against the Knicks (29.8 points, 40% on 3-pointers) and his immense Game 5 were the icing on a cake full of sugar and deliciousness.
Philadelphia still needs to find a few pieces to complete the squad, but the watchword for the next few seasons could not be clearer: All-in.
No surprise, Tyrese Maxey was the most quickly anticipated extension of this entire 2024 Free Agency.
Great progression, perfect under Nick Nurse, ideal with Embiid, and now with Paul George.
Maxi for Maxey, QED.
