Presented since 1995-96, the NBA Sportsmanship
Award honors the player who best represents the ideals of
sportsmanship on the court.
All 30 NBA teams nominated one of their players for the award,
and a panel of six league executives selected one finalist from
each of the league's six divisions. Current NBA players picked
the winner from a list of six finalists.
Maxey received 91 first-place votes and 2,545 total points.
Kevin Love (Miami Heat) finished second, followed by Jarrett
Allen (Cleveland Cavaliers), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma
City Thunder), Harrison Barnes (Sacramento Kings) and Tre Jones
(San Antonio Spurs).
Maxey made his first All-Star team in 2023-24 and averaged 25.9
points, 6.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 70 starts in his fourth
season with the Sixers.
He is the second Philadelphia player to win the Sportsmanship
Award after guard Eric Snow (1999-2000).
