Kelly Oubre Jr. will be reevaluated in approximately two weeks after suffering a sprain of the LCL in his left elbow during the best game of his season on Tuesday night, the Sixers announced on Wednesday.
The injuries keep on coming for the Sixers, who on Tuesday announced that star guard Tyrese Maxey would be sidelined for at least the next three weeks due to a tendon injury in his right fifth finger. Joel Embiid remains out with his right oblique strain, and the team has yet to provide any update on a timeline for his return. Paul George's suspension will not be lifted for another two weeks.
The Sixers have an injury report for tomorrow’s game @ Detroit:

Joel Embiid – R oblique strain – OUT
Tyrese Maxey – R finger tendon injury – OUT
Kelly Oubre Jr. – L elbow sprain – OUT
Adem Bona – back soreness – QUESTIONABLE

Earlier in the week, the Sixers lost handle of the Eastern Conference's No. 6 seed and final surefire playoff bid. Now, their chances of earning it back – or jostling for ideal positioning in the NBA Play-In Tournament – have taken yet another hit. Oubre, who scored 32 points in Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, was set to play a significant role in the weeks ahead as one of the team's only role players capable of upscaling his offensive workload.
