Philadelphia 76ers has shaped a beast in the form of Tyrese Maxey, whose awful plays drop the perfectly balanced defense off-guard. However, it was not an overnight turn of events that got the former the title of ‘Mad Maxey.’ The point guard for the 76ers has worked relentlessly on his game, which has resulted in his ability to throw off even elite blockers from their rhythm.

The moves that Maxy carries in his game are not prepared overnight. His mother, Denyse Maxey, shared with ESPN, “He’d run through the house for years, practicing on me, or on one of his grandmothers, or practicing on his sisters.” Interestingly, those fast-paced, funky scores at the basket are the result of years of practice that rose to the occasion when given the opportunity.

Mad Maxey has been the center of attention quite a lot in his professional life. However, the dating game of the 76ers’ point guard seems nothing less. Reportedly, Tyrese has been dating Lavender Briggs, a college basketball player for the WNBA team Maryland Terrapins. Maxey loves to keep his personal treasures to himself. Therefore, the basketball duo have not made their relationship public despite making news of their romantic affair.

Like Tyrese Maxey himself, Lavender had a spark for basketball from an early age. Hailing from Provo, Utah, her skills shone brighter than others at Provo High School. One of her career’s early accolades includes being a two-time First-Team 4A  All-State performer in 2017 and 2018. After completing high school, the Maryland player moved to the University of Florida to play for the Florida Gators.

With her top-tier performance, Lavender earned the SEC Freshman of the Week and acquired the spot on the All-SEC team in 2020. The motivation sources that pulled Lavender through all these ladders of success were her determination, hard work, and sheer talent that she was born with. Tyrese Maxey shares the same values with his girlfriend Lavender, making them just the perfect match.

Tyrese and Lavender are top-tier athletes, and their supporting each other will shatter all the limits of growth for the couple. However, the romantic bonding of the basketball duo still demands a public announcement or social media post. Maxey and Briggs both have honed their skill over time with a never-give-up attitude. So, the NBA community might expect a confirmation from the 23-year-old point guard soon.
