Kelly Oubre Jr. Struck By A Car, Out Sunday
1 year agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. (undisclosed) was struck by a car while walking near his residence on Saturday night. He was transported to a Philadelphia hospital after suffering undisclosed injuries. Fortunately, the 27-year-old has since been released. Oubre has played well in his first season with the Sixers, averaging 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in eight appearances. He won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. But until fantasy managers receive some clarity regarding Oubre's condition, it's anyone's guess how long he'll be out. In the meantime, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum could see additional minutes, with one of those players expected to slide into the starting lineup on Sunday. Without question, Covington and Batum have enough upside to be considered viable options in deeper formats, although they are still risky fantasy options.
