76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has been named a starter for the 75th NBA All-Star Game, the league announced on Monday.
The six-year pro was one of the 10 players selected as an All-Star Game starter, an honor voted on by fans, current NBA players, and a media panel.
Maxey is joined by Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee), Jaylen Brown (Boston), Jalen Brunson (New York), and Cade Cunningham (Detroit) as Eastern Conference starters.
It is the first career All-Star starter selection for Maxey, who becomes the eighth youngest player in 76ers franchise history to receive such an honor. It will be the second NBA All-Star appearance for Maxey, after earning his first All-Star nod during the 2023-24 season.
In 38 games this season, the 25-year-old Maxey is producing career highs in points (30.3), assists (6.7), rebounds (4.4), steals (1.9), and blocks (1.0). He is one of three players in the league – and the only player in the Eastern Conference – averaging at least 30.0 points and 6.0 assists. Maxey, whose 30.3 points per game scoring average ranks third in the NBA, is the only player in the league this season with at least 1,000 points, 250 assists, and 70 steals.
Maxey has reached the 30-point mark on 19 occasions in 2025-26, good for the fifth most in the NBA. His four games of 40-plus points are tied for fourth in the NBA, including a career-best 54 points on 18-of-30 shooting at Milwaukee on Nov. 20.
The 2026 All-Star game will be played at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Feb. 15.
