Sixers star Tyrese Maxey is receiving his first signature shoe from New Balance, according to a report from Shams Charania of ESPN on Tuesday morning:
It is another sign of Maxey's rising profile around the league, the day after he was officially selected to his second All-Star Game with his first starting nod. Maxey also led all American-born players in All-Star voting.
"I'm just blessed, man," Maxey said on Monday. "I'm blessed. I have great teammates, a great organization that believes in me... I just worked extremely hard to be in this position."
