The Philadelphia 76ers are now going to have to deal with an injury situation to one of their key players. On Thursday, according to Shams Charania of ESPN, 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey of Dallas, Texas injured his hamstring and is expected to miss two weeks.

Maxey was injured in a 110-98 76ers loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. It was a tough game for Maxey defensively, as he was a game worst -16.

He also had a field goal percentage of .450, three point percentage of .373, and a free throw percentage of .868.
