Tyrese Maxey has been named to the All-NBA Third Team for the 2025-26 season.
Jamal Murray, Jalen Johnson, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Duren joined Maxey on the Third Team, which was announced Sunday night. Maxey got 36 votes for the Second Team and 60 votes for the Third Team from the 100-person media panel.
Cade Cunningham, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama made the First Team. The Second Team members are Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard.
The last Sixer to make an All-NBA Team before Maxey was Joel Embiid, who earned a First Team spot in his 2022-23 MVP season.
The 25-year-old Maxey ranked first in the NBA in minutes per game (38.0) and fifth in points per game (28.3). He set new career-best averages in assists (6.6), rebounds (4.1) and steals (1.9) while remaining a relatively low-turnover star.
Maxey racked up a career-high 54 points in the Sixers’ Nov. 20 overtime win over the Bucks. He reached the 40-point mark on five occasions and scored under 20 in just seven of his 70 regular-season appearances.
Maxey played through a nagging right pinky finger injury in the playoffs and his production dropped off during the Sixers’ second-round series loss to the Knicks. He still played a major part in the Sixers’ first-round series comeback over the Celtics and averaged 23.7 points, 5.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in the postseason.
Though there’s considerable uncertainty about the Sixers’ future with the franchise searching for a new leader of basketball operations, Maxey and Rookie of the Year finalist VJ Edgecombe are looking forward to many years as teammates.
“I think this was a big-time jump and season for me,” Maxey said after the Sixers’ season-ending Game 4 defeat to the Knicks. “I did a good job of doing a lot of different things I wanted to work on last summer. I kind of came out here and executed them. This series was definitely tough for me. … I saw multiple bodies every single night. Every single pick-and-roll, it was a trap. Every single Brunson action, it was a trap. Every single time I got downhill, the entire team was in the paint and I was trying to kick out.
“I’ve got to really watch it because it was definitely one of the hardest series I’ve played in. I’ve got to be better for my teammates no matter what the case is, no matter what the defense is. … Next year I want to do some things off the ball and just not have to be in front of the defense all the time. When you’re in front of the defense all the time, it gives them opportunities to trap me a lot. … I feel like that’s one thing that really good players and great players can do. They can be on the ball and make plays on the ball, but they can also be off the ball and contribute that way, use their gravity that way.
“Drafting (Edgecombe) was huge for myself. He took a lot of pressure off me this season and he’s only going to get better, honestly.”
