Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey and his girlfriend Myra Gordon are expecting their first child together, Gordon announced on social media Sunday. Gordon, a former college basketball player at Alabama and Pepperdine, shared multiple photos including images with Maxey, who reposted the announcement on his Instagram story with a heartfelt caption.

Gordon played her final collegiate season with the Pepperdine Waves, averaging 7.9 points and 1.6 assists per game across 11 appearances. Meanwhile, Maxey has been having a breakout season for the 76ers, leading the team with 29 points per game as Philadelphia battles for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference.

The timing of the announcement comes as Maxey deals with an injury setback, having suffered a right finger sprain over the weekend. The All-Star guard is expected to miss at least the next two games as the 76ers navigate their playoff push without one of their key offensive weapons.
