Los Angeles Clippers forward Nic Batum gives his thoughts on the rise of Philadelphia 76ers teammate Tyrese Maxey.

The NBA announced Saturday that George was suspended for violating the league’s anti-drug policy, a decision that will sideline the nine-time All-Star until March 25 and remove him from nearly the entirety of Philadelphia’s playoff push. However, Tyrese Maxey is standing firm behind his teammate.

The 76ers raced out to a 38-19 lead in the first quarter and eventually secured a 128-113 victory over the Clippers.

The Philadelphia 76ers land on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s radar as Tyrese Maxey’s rise adds a new wrinkle to Milwaukee Bucks trade speculation.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tyrese Maxey had 29 points and eight steals hours after being named an All-Star starter for the first time and Joel Embiid had 30 points and nine rebounds to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 113-104 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 18 points, and all five starters hit double figures.

The Philadelphia 76ers' duo of Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid powered the team to a 128-122 overtime win over Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets on Thursday night.

James Harden is headed to the Cleveland Cavaliers, with the Los Angeles Clippers agreeing to send the 11-time All-Star back to the Eastern Conference during his highest-scoring season in six years, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Tuesday night.
