Maxey worked with the Sixers' starters at Tuesday's practice, DeAntae Prince of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
It's no secret that the Sixers are high on the 2020 first-round pick, who appeared in 61 games and averaged 8.0 points and 2.0 assists as a rookie last season. But with Ben Simmons away from the team and almost certainly on his way out of Philadelphia, Maxey looks to be first in line to replace the three-time All-Star as the Sixers' starting point guard. Maxey, who recently denied a report that he requested out of Philly, will likely compete with Shake Milton for the starting job throughout training camp, but at this stage it appears the Kentucky product has the early advantage. Regardless of how it plays out, Maxey should be set for a significantly increased role in Year 2.
