Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe give thoughts on matchup with Magic guards
Philadelphia 76ers guards Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe give their thoughts on the matchup with the physical guards on the Orlando Magic.
CAMDEN, N. J. -- The Philadelphia 76ers will see their fair share of challenges when they take on the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night in the 7 vs.
8 play-in game. The Magic rely on their perimeter guards to cause havoc defensively and make life miserable for opposing guards so they can get out and run. Led by Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, and Anthony Black, the Magic will do their best to harass Sixers stars Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe out on the perimeter.
Maxey has had success against the Magic on the season--as headlined in Sixers Wire's deep dive into this matchup--and he will look to continue that against Orlando in the play-in game. "They’re physical defenders," Maxey said of the Magic's guard trio. "Gotta play extremely hard.
They’re extremely handsy. You gotta be strong with the ball. " Handsy is right.
