The NBA announced the All-NBA Teams on Wednesday night to honor the top players in the league.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was a candidate for the teams after an All-Star season in which he averaged 25.9 points and 6.2 assists while shooting 45% from the floor and 37.3% from deep. He certainly had a strong case for inclusion.
However, Maxey came up short.
The All-NBA third team consisted of Steph Curry, Devin Booker, Tyrese Haliburton, LeBron James and Domantas Sabonis. That meant the young Sixers star was snubbed, and it affects his contract extension and the amount of max money he can make.
If he had been named to an All-NBA Team, Maxey could have earned up to $245.3 million. By not being named, the max he can is $204.4 million.
Sixers news: Tyrese Maxey did not make All-NBA, which means his five-year max contract offer this summer will be $204.4M. If he made All-NBA, it would have been $245.3M.

Though Maxey did not make an All-NBA Team, this will serve as more motivation for him to take yet another developmental leap in the 2024-25 season. The young guard is undeniably on a superstar trajectory.
