It took some time for Tyrese Maxey to re-adjust to playing an NBA game after he missed a month and a half due to an injury.
In his fourth game since returning from injury, the 22-year-old point guard dropped 26 points along with 6 assists in 37 minutes of play.
After the game Maxey admitted that he needed time to get used to playing in the league.
Via Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints:
“I forgot how hard it was to play in the NBA games,” Maxey said after the game. “These are the best players in the world, so it was like extremely hard to like get rhythm and get to your spots because, you know, guys are good. So, I think that was my biggest thing — trying to get rhythm, trying to flow and get right into what the team has been doing.”
This season Maxey is averaging 21.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 34.9 minutes per game.
