According to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Sixers wing Kelly Oubre Jr. was a "pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle" in Center City Saturday night. Oubre Jr. is in the hospital and in stable condition, Wojnarowski reports.
Wojnarowski also reports that team officials are at the hospital with Oubre Jr., who is now expected to miss "significant time" due to his injuries, but whose injuries are likely not season-ending.
