Maxey sustained his injury during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He scored 12 points on 5-of-13 shooting before departing in the fourth quarter.
Signed to a five-year, $203.85 million maximum contract extension in July, Maxey boasts team-leading averages in points (27.6) and assists (3.9) in seven games this season. He has led the struggling 76ers (1-6) in scoring on five occasions this season.

Maxey, 24, has averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 273 career games (200 starts) since being selected by the 76ers with the 21st overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft out of Kentucky.
