Maxey works out with Pacers’ Haliburton and younger 76ers teammates during offseason

Maxey’s offseason training activity

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has been extremely active in the gym during the offseason, working with established stars and younger teammates alike. According to Sporting News, Maxey recently was spotted training with Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton under skills trainer Drew Hanlen. The workout was captured in video, showing the two All-Stars working together and competing against each other on the court.

Maxey’s recent season performance

The 25-year-old guard finished the previous season with career-highs of 28.3 points per game and 6.6 assists per game, demonstrating significant improvement in his game. Sources note that Maxey’s work ethic during the offseason has been instrumental in driving these improvements.

Other offseason training partners

Beyond his work with Haliburton, Maxey has been training with several other players during the offseason. He has worked out with fellow stars Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, as well as younger 76ers teammates VJ Edgecombe and Labaron Philon Jr. One recent session focused on leadership, with Maxey working specifically with the younger roster members. Edgecombe, a second-year player, averaged 16 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in his rookie season while shooting 43.8 percent from the field and earning All-Rookie First Team honors. First-round pick Labaron Philon Jr., who has not yet played an NBA season, averaged 18.5 points per game during Summer League play in Las Vegas.

Haliburton’s recovery and training

For Haliburton, the workout represents a significant step in his return from injury. The Pacers guard suffered a torn right Achilles in the opening quarter of Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, marking his first return to training since that injury. In the season prior to the injury, Haliburton averaged 18.6 points and 9.2 assists per game, narrowly missing a double-double average on nightly basis while earning All-Star recognition twice in his career.

What lies ahead

The 76ers and Pacers will face each other multiple times in the coming season, with both teams included in the same NBA Cup group. The offseason is nearing its end, with the new season approximately six weeks away.
