Last season, Tyrese Maxey put together a breakout campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers that saw him be named an All-Star and win Most Improved player. Circumstances have resulted his percentages taking a slight tip,

Joel Embiid, a 7-time All-Star, has played in only 13 games on the season due to a variety of ailments and is averaging 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds along with 3.8 assists per night. The latest All-Star voting reveals Maxey No. 6 in Eastern Conference backcourt voting while Embiid is No. 9 in frontcourt voting.

The center's contract becomes more of an albatross with every game he misses, every night that he happens to suit up and ends up hobbling from one end of the court to the other.
