Maxey and Harden seemed to lose their heads for a moment during the 76ers’ game against the Cavs.
The latter appeared to push his old teammate to the side, and Maxey didn’t like that. He turned back in anger and pushed Harden away.
An official intervened and separated the two players before things got ugly, but that led to a lot of talk online about any potential bad blood between them.
However, Harden showed on social media after the game that it’s all love.
Reposting Maxey’s video on Instagram, showing Harden greeting the Sixers star’s parents, Harden wrote: My brother! Shoutout to moms and pops too.”
That is great to see, as even though Harden and Maxey are rivals now, their relationship from their time together should stay intact.

As for Maxey and the Sixers, who are 3-0, they host the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.
