The 2026 NBA All-Star game took place on Sunday evening from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and it allowed Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey to showcase his talent while playing for Team USA Stars.
The All-Star game held a brand new format on Sunday with two USA teams compiled of American players and Team World compiled of international players in a round-robin tournament. Maxey was on Team Stars and had a quiet night, but had some good moments.
In the first contest, the Stars squeaked out a 37-35 OT win over Team World thanks to a game-winning 3 by Scottie Barnes. The Stars received 13 points from Anthony Edwards to lead the way while Maxey had four points on 2-for-5 shooting and 0-for-3 from deep.
In the second game of the tournament, the Stars fell to the Stripes USA team 42-40 as De'Aaron Fox hit a 3 at the buzzer in regulation. Maxey had two points in this game on 1-for-2 shooting and missed his only 3-point attempt. The Stars were led by Cade Cunningham and Edwards as both had 11 points each.
Maxey's Stars team then took on the Stripes in the All-Star championship game after the Stripes team eliminated the World team. Maxey finished with nine points on 4-for-8 shooting and he knocked down a 3 as Team Stars won 47-21 over Team Stripes to take home the All-Star game championship.
Maxey will look to get the Sixers off on the right foot on Thursday when they return from the break to play host to Team Stars teammate Jalen Johnson and the Atlanta Hawks.
