A report by TMZ Sports released Thursday says Kelly Oubre Jr. was involved in a motor vehicle accident the same evening as the Philadelphia 76ers’ Game 2 loss.
Philadelphia 76ers’ Kelly Oubre Jr. reportedly was involved in a car crash just hours after the Sixers’ heartbreaking last-second loss to the New York Knicks in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs on Tuesday night, according to a a report by TMZ Sports.
The Philadelphia Police Dept. tells us the wreck happened at around 1:45 AM on Tuesday … shortly after Oubre and the 76ers dropped a heartbreaker at Madison Square Garden, 104-101.
Cops say Oubre’s 2021 matte purple Lambo “disregarded a red traffic signal” … and plowed into a 2023 Hyundai Elantra.
Thankfully, cops say no one reported any injuries … however, they did say both vehicles needed to be towed from the scene after sustaining damage.
No injuries for either party involved is obviously what is important here. Basketball or no basketball.
The report also says that the team is aware of the incident and that Oubre is “expected to be in the line up” tonight as the Sixers host the Knicks for Game 3 of the series at the Wells Fargo Center at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Being a normal team is overrated, anyway.
