Boston’s bright start undone by Maxey’s 40-point night
The Celtics led most of the way but dropped their season opener 117-116 to the 76ers. Tyrese Maxey poured in 40 while rookie VJ Edgecombe added 34 in his debut—so good he nearly needed a Hall of Fame parental permission slip.
Derrick White and Jaylen Brown each scored 25 for Boston, who face the Knicks next.
