Hit by a car last weekend, Philadelphia 76ers winger Kelly Oubre Jr has already reunited with his teammates but has not received the green light to fully resume training.
The Philadelphia 76ers players were treated to a surprise. While he was hit by a car this Saturday, Kelly Oubre Jr found his teammates at the Pennsylvania franchise’s training center. Information that Sixers coach Nick Nurse did not fail to confirm to the press. “ He was actually in training, and he was in a good moodhe confided. He’s been cycling a bit, so he’s fine.. » However, it is not yet expected that the 27-year-old will make a full return to training with his teammates. Victim of a driver who then fled, Kelly Oubre Jr did not emerge from the accident unscathed. New Orleans native suffers broken rib after driver’s side mirror hits chest. A diagnosis which is much more positive compared to the first information which appeared in the press.
Oubre Jr less injured than expected
The latter reported multiple fractures but also superficial injuries to the hips and legs. Nevertheless, Kelly Oubre Jr will have to appear before the doctors again within a week to gauge the progress of his injury. However, it is impossible that the winger launched into the deep end of the NBA in 2015 by the Washington Wizards, after being selected in 15th position by the Atlanta Hawks during the 2015 Draft, will go through the operation box. Indeed, Kelly Oubre Jr should be able to return to training and then competition within a reasonable time frame despite this injury. Entering Nick Nurse’s major five since the start of the season, the former Hornets player saw Nicolas Batum, recently arrived in the Sixers squad, temporarily take his place while Robert Covington or Marcus Morris can also enter the rotation in his absence.
