The Sixers will have to continue to wait until all members of their star trio are active.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Thursday that All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey is “expected to miss a few weeks” with a right hamstring injury. Charania said a full evaluation of Maxey will take place later Thursday. John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia confirmed that report.

Maxey was ruled out in the fourth quarter of the Sixers’ loss to the Clippers on Wednesday night with an injury that the Sixers described at the time as “right hamstring soreness.”

Even with that early departure, Maxey remains first in the NBA with 39.7 minutes per game. He averaged 27.6 points, 3.9 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals for the Sixers, who are 1-6 ahead of Friday night’s game against the Lakers.

The Sixers rank 26th in offensive rating and 28th in net rating. Paul George has played in two matches after sustaining a left knee injury during pre-season. Joel Embiid has appeared in zero. He has two games remaining on an NBA suspension for shoving Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes in the Sixers’ locker room last week.

It is clear that the team has seen brighter times.

Without Maxey, the Sixers will likely elevate rookie Jared McCain to a bigger role. With the exception of contract players like Jeff Dowtin Jr., the other guards on the team’s roster are veterans Kyle Lowry, Eric Gordon and Reggie Jackson.
