The overall results weren’t sparkling and the Sixers sure looked quite small at times, but Maxey still had a glowing review … outside of a good-natured dig at Kyle Lowry. “It’s great,” he said with a smile in the visiting locker room. “It reminds me of Kentucky, honestly. I played in a starting lineup with me, Immanuel Quickley and Ashton Hagans. That lineup was very effective. You’ve got three guys who can penetrate, create their own shot, create shots for others, shoot the ball … and play defense. So they’re going to be extremely pesky and bothersome. That group’s great. It was good to have Kyle back. Reggie Jackson made some big shots. Now we just need Kyle to make a three and we’ll be OK.” -via NBC Sports Philadelphia / January 26, 2025
