NBA Hall of Famer and television analyst Charles Barkley delivered a strong message to Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey, according to a report published Thursday.
The comments come after Maxey's performance in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks on May 8, 2026, at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
Details of Barkley's specific advice were not immediately disclosed in the report by Justin Grasso.
