The dancer previously suffered his calf injury during DWTS rehearsals earlier this week.

"It's my calf muscle. F—k. It just feels like something hit it," Maksim said in rehearsal footage shown on the Monday, March 27 DWTS episode. During week two of the reality dance competition, Maksim's celebrity partner, Glee star Heather Morris, performed with troupe dancer Alan Bersten.

Days ago, Maks thanked fans for their well wishes and sadly revealed he does not yet know when he'll be able to return to Dancing With the Stars. "Thank you all for so much love and support! And for having Heather's back with all your votes," he wrote on Instagram.
