George: Maxi went to the gym after playing back-to-back 50 minutes. That’s why he behaved like this

Six players defeated the Bucks 123-114 in overtime in an away game.

After the game, George accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about Maxey, he praised: "He is special, he is extremely talented. I think what you may not notice is that after the game, especially after back-to-back games, playing 50 minutes or 45 minutes or more, he will go to the gym and work out. It speaks volumes about his personality and where he is today. I have seen a lot of great players in this league and they do this. They always get through this." Try to stay in shape, stay strong, and continue to improve yourself."
