The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Indiana Pacers 114-109 on October 28, 2026, coming back from 13 down in the third quarter. Tyrese Maxey finished with 27 points and hit two late threes, Joel Embiid had 21 and 11, and Anthony Simons scored 20 off the bench. The discussion has since widened from Maxey as the closer to his overall load: he leads the Sixers in minutes, points, field goals, threes and usage. Philadelphia's turnover problem remains part of the argument.
