Cameron Payne will miss at least the next two weeks for the Sixers with a right hamstring strain, reports The Athletic’s Tony Jones (Twitter link).
Payne left Saturday’s loss to the Pistons after playing just nine minutes due to the injury and did not return to the game. An MRI today revealed the strain.
The 31-year-old guard has appeared in 22 games for the Sixers this season, averaging 7.4 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.1 steals in 17.0 minutes per game.
Jones notes that this timeline would keep Payne out past the end of the season and that he will be reevaluated once the two weeks are up. The Sixers are currently tied with the Raptors for sixth place in the East following Toronto’s loss the Celtics today, with Philadelphia owning the tie-breaker between them and Toronto.
