Tyrese Maxey denies Stephen A. Smith's claims about Doc Rivers visit

Tyrese Maxey refuted claims made by Stephen A. Smith regarding a visit to Doc Rivers' home to discuss James Harden. Maxey tweeted on October 23, stating, 'I've never even been to DOC house.' His denial followed a confrontation with Harden during Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where both players exchanged shoves. Despite this altercation, Maxey scored 32 points, helping the Sixers to a come-from-behind victory. The previous playoff context was highlighted, recalling the team's early exit after blowing a lead against the Boston Celtics in 2023. Maxey and Harden are set to face off again on November 6.
