Tyres Maxi won the "Most Improved Player" award, and some experts predict that he will receive a five-year, 205 million contract extension.

Five players from Maxey's co-ordination had their contracts renewed early last season:
1. Edwards renews his contract with the Timberwolves for 5 years and 260 million in advance (is competing in the playoffs, with a high probability of reaching the semifinals)
2. Ball renews his contract with the Hornets in advance for 5 years and 260 million (season reimbursement)
3. Haliburton signed a 5-year, 260 million early contract extension with the Pacers (is competing in the playoffs and may hack the Bucks)
4. Bane signed a 5-year, 207 million early contract extension with the Grizzlies (season reimbursement)
5. Vassell renewed his contract with Spurs for 5 years and 146 million in advance (missed the playoffs)
Maxey played 70 games in the regular season this season, averaging 25.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 37.5 minutes per game, shooting 3 three-pointers per game while shooting 37.3% from the field. There were 3 single-game scores of 50+.
He averaged 5.6 more points, 0.8 more rebounds, 2.7 more assists, 0.2 more steals and 0.4 more blocks per game than last season.
In the playoffs, he averaged 34 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game, and averaged 4 three-pointers per game while shooting 40% from the field.
