Tyrese Maxey Hilariously Blames Fans For Getting Him Drug Tested By The NBA

Tyrese Maxey just got drug-tested by the NBA. After a video of him working out on his dribbling skills with Chris Johnson went viral on social media, fans noticed the size difference Maxey went from in just a couple of months. And now, the Philadelphia 76ers star hilariously blames his fans for the league checking up on him.

“I really got drug tested because of y’all “

This was the first video that caught the fans’ attention on social media. Noticing how he gained quite a lot of weight and muscle, some of the viewers even went so far as to suspect Maxey of being on supplements.

Here is another recent video of Maxey during a press conference with Daryl Morey. Fans immediately noticed the size of his shoulders as they appeared to be quite massive than before. And that may have also played a role in the NBA drug-testing him.

Much like other leagues, the NBA is no stranger to putting their players through random drug tests. It tends to happen more when a player ends up performing exceptionally well, which raises suspicions within the league.

The most recent victim of being randomly drug-tested was Damian Lillard. Dame dropped an insane 71-point game a few seasons ago. And while that was a feat impressive in itself, the league decided to check to make sure he wasn’t on any performance-enhancing steroids.

As per CBS Sports, when Lillard was asked to give his two cents on being drug-tested by the league, this is what the Philadelphia 76ers’ guard had to say.

“I was like, ‘Are y’all serious? I did the urine test yesterday, and then they backed it up with the blood-drawn tonight after the game — that’s actually my first time in my career being tested after a game.”

Unfortunately, Maxey didn’t even have an outing for the league to intervene and perform a random drug test. However, the 76ers star took it amusingly, and hilariously pinning it on his fans for being tested by the league.
