After a tough defeat against the New York Knicks in the playoffs, Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. found himself in yet another unfortunate situation. Reports from CBS Sports reveal that Oubre was involved in a car accident while driving his Lamborghini in Philadelphia. It was around 1:45 in the morning on April 23 when Oubre allegedly ran a red light and collided with a 2023 Hyundai Elantra. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the accident, but both vehicles had to be towed from the scene. Police have confirmed that Oubre was at fault for disregarding a red traffic signal.
When asked about the incident, Oubre assured everyone that he was okay and so were the others involved. He did, however, mention that he may need to hire a driver in the future to avoid any further mishaps on the road. It's been a tough few days for Oubre, who only scored four points in the game against the Knicks and has now been involved in two road incidents in the span of a few months.
The 76ers' loss against the Knicks was a close one, with a final score of 104-101 at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City. Despite Oubre's efforts, scoring four points and contributing three assists and two rebounds, the team fell short of victory. This was a particularly disappointing loss for Oubre, who has had a string of bad luck while on the road.
In November of 2023, NBA.com reported that Oubre was struck by a vehicle while walking near his home in downtown Philadelphia. The incident occurred on November 11 in the city's Center City area, and Oubre ended up breaking a rib. The driver left the scene, and Oubre was taken to the hospital for treatment. Luckily, he was listed in stable condition and was released a few hours later.
Unfortunately, there was no video footage of the incident, as revealed by police officials a few days later. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Sergeant Eric Gripp, a spokesperson for the department, stated that they were unable to gather any photographic or video evidence of the collision. However, they are still working to find any leads and are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation.
Oubre's luck with road incidents seems to be a recurring theme, as this is not the first time he has found himself in such a situation. He has played for five different teams, including the Washington Wizards, since joining the NBA in 2015. This season, he joined the 76ers in a trade that sent James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite these unfortunate events, Oubre remains determined to move forward and focus on the rest of the season.
