The Philadelphia 76ers will be without guard Tyrese Maxey for three-to-four weeks due to a bone injury in his left foot, according to Shams Charania. Maxey suffered the injury during the Sixers' 110-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. 

Late in the first half, after Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a jumper, Maxey grabbed the rebound and took off up the floor. As he drove to the basket, he tried to maneuver around Jevon Carter and stepped on the foot of the Bucks guard. Maxey's ankle rolled and he hobbled all the way up the steps in the first few rows of seats in serious pain. Though he stayed in the game to shoot his free throws, it was clear he could not continue, and he checked out for good at the next dead ball.

This is obviously a big blow for the Sixers, not only because Maxey has been terrific this season, but because they're already without James Harden. The former MVP went down earlier this month with a foot tendon strain and isn't expected back until early December. 

CBS Sports will continue updating this story.
