The Ramos roundup is a weekly sports column highlighting all the news of the week featuring the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, and Union.
Maxey Makes Sixers History
On Thursday, Tyrese Maxey continued his banner season with the Sixers, breaking Allen Iverson’s 3-pointers made in Sixers franchise history. An impressive feat for any player, but especially for Maxey, who broke the record at just 25-years old. Of course, basketball has changed a lot since Iverson held the record and the three point shot is much more prominent. Nevertheless, Maxey deserves his flowers for the milestone.
In other Sixers news, the team dropped a 114-97 decision to the Boston Celtics Sunday evening. This marks the first of three games without Joel Embiid. The Sixers announced after defeating the Miami Heat on Thursday that Embiid is being dealing with an oblique strain.

On Sunday, the Union took on New York City FC, falling to their rivals 2-1. In the first half, Hannes Wolf opened the scoring for New York in the 36th minute. Then in the 89th minute, Union midfielder Indiana Vassilev scored on a penalty kick to tie the match. Tayvon Gray scored the winning goal in the 99th minute for New York, dropping the Union to 0-2 in the young season.
