Tyrese Maxey came off the bench for the 76ers to score 23 points in 27 minutes of play in the loss against the Heat (99-101).

The 22-year-old point guard is one of the top three players for Philadelphia along with Joel Embiid and James Harden.

Maxey says that Embiid has played a major role in helping become the player that he is right now.

Via Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints:

“When the best player in the world — probably — when he believes in you and you believe in yourself, you’re good against the world, I think,” Tyrese Maxey said. “He’s instilled faith in me and instilled belief in me and confidence in me to where I can go out there and play freely. So, I appreciate him for that.”

This season Maxey is averaging 19.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32.7 minutes per game.
