Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey brought some levity to the court in Cleveland on Saturday night when he attempted to replicate LeBron James' iconic chalk toss ritual before the game against the Cavaliers.
The playful moment occurred during pre-game warmups at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, where Maxey mimicked the Cavaliers superstar's long-standing tradition of tossing chalk into the air. James, who spent 11 seasons with Cleveland across two stints, made the chalk toss a signature part of his pre-game routine.
Maxey's imitation drew laughs from teammates and fans alike, providing a lighthearted moment ahead of the matchup between the two Eastern Conference teams. The 76ers went on to face the Cavaliers in a regular-season contest on November 7, 2026.
