The next era of 76ers basketball is now officially underway, even if it technically began at the start of the 2023–24 NBA season. Following the trade that sent disgruntled guard James Harden to the Clippers, it’ll now be the Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey show. Maxey, who’s in his fourth NBA season, revealed the message he had for Harden following the news of his trade.
Maxey said he thanked Harden for everything he's taught him over the time they spent together, according to ESPN’s Tim Bontemps.
“I texted him and I told him I love him, told him I appreciate him,” Maxey said. “One thing that he really installed in me is confidence. I’ve always been a confident person, but he made me be even more confident than I already was, and all I can do is appreciate him for that.
