The 2026-27 season figures to be an exciting one for the Philadelphia 76ers. After all, they were already super talented led by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Throw the huge additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown into the mix and the Sixers figure to be at or near the top of the Eastern Conference.
Maxey and James have always had a relationship in the past, but it figures to be enhanced in the coming season now that they are teammates. The two have been working out together recently and were once again in the gym under the watchful eye of trainer Chris Johnson.

Maxey is coming off a season in which he averaged
28.3 points on his way to being named to the All-NBA Third Team and his second career All-Star appearance. He will look to take another leap forward in the coming season playing next to James. The 41-year-old is still one of the more productive players in the league as he averaged 20.9 points for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025-26.
