Surpassing his previous best of 44 points, Tyrese Maxey dazzled with a 50-point game against the Pacers.
In a triumphant moment for Tyrese Maxey, who scored an impressive 50 points leading to a 137-126 victory over the Indiana Pacers, he dedicated his performance to his Philadelphia 76ers teammate Kelly Oubre Jr.
Oubre Jr. recently endured a rib fracture due to a car accident near his residence this past Saturday.
Alongside his scoring feat, Maxey contributed with seven rebounds, five assists, and three blocks at the Wells Fargo Center.
Maxey emphasized the inspiration behind his performance, saying, “This isn’t about me – it’s all for Kelly Oubre. We’re all hoping for his speedy recovery. Though I’ve only known him a short while, he’s earned my respect and affection. Get well soon, Kelly.”
Joel Embiid also shone, netting 37 points and grabbing 13 rebounds, aiding the 76ers in prolonging their winning streak to eight games.
Details from the police about the accident involving Oubre Jr, 27, in his debut season with the 76ers, describe a high-speed vehicle colliding with him, hitting his chest with the side mirror.
“It was quite a shock, but thankfully, he’s recuperating at home and is relatively comfortable. He’s doing alright,” shared 76ers head coach Nick Nurse before the game against the Pacers.
“We’re planning a reassessment of his condition after a week,” he added.
Elsewhere, Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets achieved his fourth triple-double of the season, but it wasn’t enough to stop their 107-104 loss to the Houston Rockets.
Despite Jokic’s stellar 36 points, 21 rebounds, and 11 assists, the Nuggets still managed to clinch their sixth straight win.

sad to hear about Oubre Jr, these accidents are scary, hope he recovers soon and gets back on court
these NBA games are getting more exciting each day, Maxey’s 50 pts, Embiid’s solid play, and Jokic’s triple-double, what a time to be a basketball fan!
Maxey dedicating his performance to Oubre Jr was a class act, shows the brotherhood in the team, love to see it
Jokic does it again with a triple-double but we still lose, frustrating but he’s carrying the team on his back, need more from the rest of the squad
