Kelly Oubre Jr. Suffers A Fractured Rib
1 year agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. (rib) will be re-evaluated in one week after getting struck by a car while walking near his home on Saturday night. He suffered a fractured rib, which is better news than expected, especially since there weren't many details surrounding his injury initially. But fortunately, it appears Oubre could be back sooner than anticipated, so fantasy managers could get him back in the lineup sooner rather than later. The 27-year-old, who signed with the Sixers as a free agent, has played well this season, averaging 16.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in eight appearances. However, until he returns, Nicolas Batum is expected to work his way into the starting lineup, with Robert Covington potentially getting more minutes from the bench.
