Maxey dedicated the performance to Sixers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr., who was hit by a car on Saturday night and suffered a fractured rib. Oubre did not play Sunday night.
"This had nothing to do with me," Maxey said during his postgame interview. "This is all Kelly Oubre. We're praying for him. Love my dawg. I just met him, but I love him. I hope he gets well soon."
According to a incident report from the Philadelphia Police Department, Oubre was struck in the upper chest area by a silver vehicle traveling at a high-rate speed in the Center City area of Philadelphia.
