The Sixers will likely be without center Spencer Hawes for at least two weeks, if not more.

"That determination isn't for sure yet, but the odds are that he probably will," Sixers president Rod Thorn said when asked if Hawes would be out until after the all-star break. "We certainly don't want him going back out there until he's ready to play."

Hawes, who has missed 15 of the last 17 games, is going to see a specialist about his sore left Achilles tendon.

He has already had an MRI exam on the tendon that came back negative.
