Tyrese Maxey, the Philadelphia 76ers guard, has made NBA history by becoming the second-youngest player to score 50+ points with 0 turnovers in a game since the stat was first tracked in the 1977-78 season. Maxey achieved this feat against the Utah Jazz on February 1, 2024, at the age of 23 years and 89 days, shortly after Jayson Tatum who set the record on April 30, 2021, at 23 years and 58 days. This performance coincided with Maxey's first NBA All-Star selection, celebrated by the Inside crew after he dropped a career-high 51 points on the night. The lack of defense from the Jazz contributed to Maxey's milestone leading to a Sixers win, as reported by @NBASarah. Maxey's achievement was acknowledged during the 76ers' first home game since the All-Star reserves were announced, where he was introduced as a 'First-Time All-Star' under the hashtag #NBAAllStar and celebrated with #BrotherlyLove.
