PHILADELPHIA — Doc Rivers feels the next step in 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey’s evolution is getting his shot without a play being called for him.
Maxey appears to be doing a solid job of that through two preseason games.
The shooting guard has combined to score 41 points in just 29 minutes for the Sixers (2-0). Maxey is averaging 20.5 points on 15-for-19 shooting while playing only in the first half of each game. He’s shooting 78.9% from the field, including 71.4% (5 of 7) on 3-pointers.
