This offseason, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has been very active online. The one-time All-Star recently went viral on a random morning as he struggled to use a can opener on Instagram Live.

Maxey had NBA fans from all over getting a good laugh out of his struggles in the kitchen, but the young guard recently proved that he mastered the art of opening a can not long after going viral.

“They found my kryptonite. I’m going to show ya’ll that I learned! I’ll put it on the top like that. I’m gonna go here, and I’m gonna show ya’ll my balancing skills too. I got to take it down to the floor. It’s definitely open! I don’t want to get too much of the bean juice on the court … Keep trying out there, kids! You’ll learn some stuff!”

The 24-year-old has been on quite the digital run this summer, mixing in plenty of workout content as well.

As Maxey and the Sixers are entering a new season without a recent playoff run for the first time in the young guard’s pro career, he’s ready to put the fun and games to rest soon enough.

Soon, the Sixers will be back at training camp and Maxey will return to the court after seeing his 2024-2025 run end early. Maxey battled through a pinkie injury, which eventually forced the Sixers to make the tough decision to shut him down.

Once Maxey’s season concluded, he had just 52 games to show for. Seeing the court for a career-high average of 38 minutes per game, Maxey averaged 26 points on 44 percent shooting from the field and 34 percent shooting from three.

The young guard also averaged three rebounds, six assists, and two steals per game. Although he scored at his best clip, the dip in efficiency led to a lot of criticism for Maxey, as the Sixers struggled through an injury-filled year.

For the Sixers, they should feel good about Maxey getting healthy and maintaining a positive attitude throughout a difficult year. As it’s unclear when the core starters, Joel Embiid and Paul George, will be healthy enough to play, Maxey has high expectations surrounding him going into the year.
