On Sunday morning, The Athletic’s Shams Charania took to the app to share details on the specific nature of his injuries, citing “broken ribs” suggesting that he will have to spend “significant time” away from the team:
“Sources: 76ers G/F Kelly Oubre Jr. sustained broken ribs and an assortment of bruises and cuts to his body after being struck by a car in Philadelphia on Saturday night. Oubre fortunately avoided more serious injuries, but will now miss significant time.”
Wow.
Cops told ABC6 on Sunday that the 27-year-old was walking along Spruce Street and Hicks Street when he was struck in the upper chest by a silver car traveling at a high rate of speed. The police department also cited injuries to his hip and leg, and said he was rushed to Jefferson Hospital.
