The way this started out made it sound like the Sixers went and immediately released him
woj keeps saying this word Significant and I just feel like he’s being paid by someone to keep using it.
That’s great. Hope he’s back to 100% soon.
What are the injuries where he’s out of the hospital in 3 hours but is out for a significant period of time? Broken leg? Concussion?
Pretty encouraging that he’s out already. Hopefully it’s just some bruising or similar
Best news we could probably receive at the moment since it sounds like he’s not in need of emergency care. Sixers have been doing good by players with their injuries and expect they’ll do the same here with Kelly
I hope he heals up quickly, I know I am not a basketball player but know first hand the mental aspect of accidents, glad he can get the best possible care as well.
I’m glad he at least didn’t need emergency surgery or anything of that nature.
This guy really phrased it as ‘stable condition’ an hour before Oubre got released from the hospital. Just farming clicks at all times.
They made it sound like he suffered major injuries but if he got released right away then it’s probably nothing.
Stay safe out there 🙏
Between the normal collars, sesame seeds, drafting player who forgot how to shoot, drafting a player that refused to shoot, and the recent James Harden drama literally nothing about this franchise surprises me anymore
Hope he doesn’t have any lasting injuries, Oubre has been balling.
That’s a pretty quick release but also who knows what this means basketball wise
I got hit by a car that was going slow while riding my bike and barely got hurt, but I still had dropfoot for like a week. So much can go wrong with the body after that kinda impact, it’s good to be cautious.
we have never been more back (hope he’s alright and doesn’t rush to come back)
I really think the sixers need a serious trade exception…
straight to jail no trial for the driver
Good to hear.
Reports say he got hit by an Oubre
I really hope sixers do some kinda cleansing or prayer. Like fend of negative energy, ghosts or something. This organization cannot catch a break. First thing they should do is f the process.
This reminds me so much of OOTP event where a player can get randomly injured.
From the pic they released of him in the hospital, it looked like his wrist / lower arm was in a splint / cast and they also had his two outer fingers on the same arm splinted up as well. So I imagine the time out will be tied to some combination of broken fingers / hand / wrist / arm given what they immobilized.
Could be from the impact but probably more likely caused bracing/ impact of the fall. I’ve broken a wrist and hand in separate incidents on big falls on asphalt. On the flip side I’ve been hit by a cop car in a crosswalk in the hip pretty hard but didn’t fall and I was fine, didn’t even get checked out on that one.
The city is a mess. They have lost control.
Great news, rest up Kelly
Damn. Wishing him well. Bad luck for he and the Sixers. He’s been playing great so far this season
