Following the recent car accident that left Kelly Oubre Jr. with a fractured rib, hip, and right leg, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski shared a potential return date for the Sixers’ player.
Wojnarowski disclosed on ESPN’s NBA Countdown that Oubre has been doing light work at the Sixers facility, with a realistic expectation of returning in two-plus weeks, possibly by the end of November or the beginning of December.
“Kelly Oubre Jr. has been to the Sixers facility the last couple of days, starting to do some light work. I’m told that realistic expectation is that he could be back in two-plus weeks,” he said. “Perhaps the end of November, the beginning of December.”
The incident occurred on November 11, leading to Oubre’s hospitalization, and he is expected to miss at least a month.
Before the accident, Oubre was performing well, averaging 16.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game on 50 percent shooting in 29 minutes per game.
