76ers’ Tyrese Maxey might have accidentally revealed Kyle Lowry’s future after Magic win

The Philadelphia 76ers are hitting their stride at the perfect time, but Tyrese Maxey might have just let a massive secret slip during the post-game celebrations. Following a gritty 109-97 victory over the Orlando Magic, Maxey found himself sporting the “Playmaker Chain” and speaking to the media about the team’s frantic playoff push.

While praising the veteran leadership on the roster, Maxey stumbled over his words in a way that has Sixers fans buzzing about Kyle Lowry’s future in the league.

“I’m just so happy because a lot of these guys hadn’t been to the playoffs before and I told them beginning of the year, I don’t care what it take, we going to the playoffs,” Maxey told the Amazon Prime broadcast. “I told Kyle that, his last… um… you know he oldest, so.”

The hesitation was deafening. It sounded exactly like Maxey was about to say “his last season” or “his last year” before quickly pivoting to a joke about Lowry’s age. Lowry, a North Philly native who joined the 76ers mid-season after a buyout, provides the championship DNA this roster desperately needs.

Maxey certainly played like a man possessed against Orlando. He finished with 31 points, two rebounds, and six assists, leading the charge while Joel Embiid battled through physical play. Kelly Oubre Jr. and VJ Edgecombe both finished with 19 points to give the 76ers a steady attacking presence.

The win was crucial, keeping Philadelphia’s hopes of avoiding the Play-In Tournament alive. Whether this truly is the “Last Dance” for the 38-year-old Lowry remains to be seen, but Maxey’s accidental reveal suggests the team is playing with a heightened sense of urgency for their veteran floor general. If this is the end of the road, the Sixers seem determined to send him out with one more deep postseason run in his hometown.
