NBA All-Star Got Drug Tested Over Video Of Him Looking Too 'Swole'

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey looked to be in terrific shape in a recent video of him circulating online. The NBA thought maybe the 23-year-old was in too good shape.

Maxey was the breakout star of the 2023-24 season, which saw him win the Most Improved Player Award. With Paul George now completing a more balanced Big 3 on the 76ers , the expectations on Maxey's shoulders are even higher going into next season.

Perhaps that's why he's been putting in the work to literally broaden his shoulders. A recent video of Maxey has circulated online of him working out with renowned trainer Chris Johnson. In the video, the Kentucky alum looked more like a linebacker than an NBA point guard.

The video drew a lot of attention from fans online, which apparently included people from the league office. Maxey admitted on a post on X that the NBA ended up drug testing him after his video circulated.

"I really got drug tested because of y’all," Maxey wrote along with a couple of laughing emojis.

Maxey has developed a reputation as one of the most affable players in the NBA. Even if people weren't going to mess with him before, they definitely won't know for very different reasons.
