Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey passed Allen Iverson as the franchise leader in 3-point field goals Thursday night against the Miami Heat.
It did not take long for Maxey to break the record with his 886th career 3-pointer. At 25 years old and after six seasons in the NBA, Maxey headed into the head game four threes away from breaking Iverson's record. He needed just one quarter to set it.
Maxey currently ranks fifth in the league in scoring, averaging 29.1 points, 6.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 37.5% from behind the arc. He also ranks in the top 10 this season in 3-pointers and 3-point field-goal attempts.
The 76ers have continued to slightly tread above water despite Maxey's scoring numbers. The 76ers are 32-26 and have gone .500 in their last 10 games. While rookie V.J. Edgecombe has been a bright spot, the 76ers continue to have Joel Embiid and Paul George in and out of the lineup.
Embiid has played 32 games, averaging 26.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks. George has played in 27 games and is currently serving a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy. The team has gone 6-5 in George's absence. He has averaged 16 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 38.2% shooting from 3-point range.
