Philadelphia 76ers winger, who had been performing well alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, suffered a broken rib after being hit by a car
This last Saturday, the 11th, the winger of Philadelphia 76ers, Kelly Oubre Jr., he was run over when he was walking in the center of Philadelphia. Only this past Sunday, the 12th, the franchise NBA announced that the athlete had fractured a rib and will undergo reevaluation in approximately a week.
According to the journalist Shams Charania, from “The Athletic”, the Philadelphia Police Department stated that the car ended up fleeing the scene after the accident, but that what happened is under investigation. Even so, authorities said the player suffered an impact to the upper chest and suffered injuries to his hip and right leg. Already Adrian Wojnarowski, from the American “ESPN”, stated that the winger went to the hospital, but was released before the end of the night. Now, the 76ers’ medical staff will work with Oubre Jr. to treat his injuries.
Kelly Oubre Jr. joined the Sixers this past offseason on a one-year deal after spending two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets. To date, he has played all eight games for the franchise, becoming a starter in the last five, after the team involved PJ Tucker in exchange for James Harden as Los Angeles Clippers.
