Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey will be in the All-Star game on Sunday in Indianapolis, but on Saturday, he participated in the skills challenge.
Maxey was a part of Team All-Stars alongside fellow stars Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks and Scottie Barnes of the Toronto Raptors. The trio won the shooting part of the skills challenge, which got them to the final round against Team Pacers.
The final came down to the half-court shot. Maxey hit the half-court shot for Team All-Stars at the 58.8 seconds mark. Team Pacers won the skills challenge when Tyrese Haliburton hit the half-court shot at 20.5 seconds.

After making the shot, Haliburton hit everybody with the classic Reggie Miller choke sign.
