76ers’ Tyrese Maxey expected to miss multiple weeks with hamstring injury: Source

After a fourth straight loss, the Philadelphia 76ers are dealing with more bad news. Star point guard Tyrese Maxey is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a right hamstring injury, a team source confirmed Thursday. Maxey, 24, was ruled out early in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s loss to the LA Clippers due to the injury. Embiid, who missed the first two weeks of the season due to what the Sixers are calling “left knee injury management,” is currently serving a three-game suspension for shoving a reporter in the locker room. George debuted in Monday’s game against the Suns and played Wednesday against the Clippers — a 110-98 loss that dropped the Sixers to 1-6 — after missing the start of the season with a knee injury.
