Maksymow, who was one of the best players on the ground in the first-half, failed to reappear after the half-time break on Saturday.
Coach Joel Price admitted Maksymow's shock departure was a distraction but refused to blame it for the 33-point loss.

Ruckman Matt Seiter and Aidan Johnson were also outstanding.
