Kelly Oubre Jr. has returned to the Sixers’ practice facility three days after being reportedly being struck by a vehicle and suffering a broken rib.
However, according to Jeff Cole of FOX 29 Philly, authorities say there’s no visual evidence that the 76ers guard was hit by the alleged car.
Per Cole: “Philadelphia police say investigators do not have any video or photographic evidence at this time showing [Kelly Oubre, Jr.] was struck by a vehicle Saturday night in a hit and run.”

76ers head coach Nick Nurse says Oubre is “in good spirits” and “rode the exercise bike for a little bit” prior to the team’s In-Season Tournament game vs. the Pacers.
Initial police reports said that the driver’s side mirror of a silver car clipped Oubre at 7:40 PM ET on Saturday night as he attempted to cross the street, causing the former first-round pick to sustain a broken rib, lacerations and other assorted injuries.
We’ll see if anything turns up as the investigation continues.
