76ers' Kelly Oubre Jr. Set to Return to Court Amid Controversy Over Hit-and-Run Incident

Despite ongoing investigation and lack of video evidence, Oubre maintains his account of the traumatic event and prepares for his comeback game.

  • Kelly Oubre Jr., Philadelphia 76ers player, was reportedly involved in a hit-and-run accident near his home in Philadelphia's Center City on November 11, resulting in a broken rib and injuries to his hip and right leg.
  • Oubre has faced questions about the legitimacy of his account, as police have yet to find video evidence of the hit-and-run, and surveillance footage shows no evidence of an incident where he reported being hit.
  • Oubre has expressed frustration with the scrutiny and conspiracy theories surrounding the incident, calling it a 'very traumatic situation' for him and his family.
  • Despite the ongoing investigation and controversy, Oubre has been cleared to return to the basketball court and is expected to play in the 76ers' game against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
  • Oubre was off to a strong start in his first season with the 76ers, averaging 16.3 points in eight games, before the incident occurred.
