Maxey has been out for more than a week with a right hamstring strain. He was initially expected to recover for about two weeks, so he could be back in court at the end of next week. The final date will depend on what the 76ers medical team says, which will re-evaluate his condition in the coming days.

The 76ers occupy the penultimate position in the Eastern Conference with a record of 2-9 and all eyes are on Joel Embiid who was able to make his debut on Tuesday against the New York Knicks, although, yes, with clear signs of a lack of competitive shooting.
Last summer Maxey closed out his contract extension with the 76ers for another four years and $204 million. In the seven games he played leading up to his injury, the guard averaged 27.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals.
