Tyrese Maxey gives his goals for 76ers heading into finale, postseason
Tyrese Maxey gives his goals for the Philadelphia 76ers heading into the finale and the postseason.
As the Philadelphia 76ers head into the season finale on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, they will be looking to take care of business while also receiving some help in order to sneak into the postseason. The Sixers are a game back of the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors in the standings. If Philadelphia beats the Bucks while the Magic and Raptors end up losing their respective matchups, then the Sixers get the 6 seed and go straight to the playoffs.
The task will be tall for Philadelphia with Joel Embiid sidelined after undergoing an appendectomy. The Sixers will be leaning more on Tyrese Maxey to lead the way in the finale as well as any postseason play for them. He just wants the Sixers to be confident going into this stretch.
"I want our spirits to be high," Maxey told reporters. "No matter what the scenario is, no matter who we go have to play. No matter what—I don't care what the scenario is.
I want our spirits to be high. I want us to go out there and compete our tails off, win the game, get prepared for whatever we have next. You know what I'm saying?
