What is the status of Philadelphia 76ers stars Tyrese Maxey and Paul George as they take on the New York Knicks on Wednesday?

The Sixers’ turnaround would not be possible without reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week Tyrese Maxey, who has stepped up time and time again -- especially in clutch moments. Writer John Schuhmann notes Maxey’s brilliance in five consecutive clutch wins between Dec. 16 and Dec. 28:

The Sixers still put up a strong battle led by Tyrese Maxey, but it wasn't enough as they fell to the Magic 104-99 on the road. Maxey had 29 points and five assists in a terrific individual effort, but Orlando received 27 points from Cole Anthony and the Magic used their athleticism to make a difference on the floor in the win.

Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey reacts to the overtime loss to the New York Knicks and gives an update on his injured hand.

Tyrese Maxey returns, but the Philadelphia 76ers fall to the New York Knicks at home as the long streak continues.
