76ers Rule Kelly Oubre Jr. Out at Least Two Weeks With LCL Sprain

An MRI confirmed a left‑knee LCL sprain that eased initial worries about a more severe ligament injury.

Overview

  • The team said Oubre will be re‑evaluated in two weeks after he hyperextended his left knee on Nov. 14 against the Pistons.
  • He exited that game after roughly 15 minutes and missed the next contest, with the diagnosis announced before the Raptors game.
  • Oubre has averaged 16.8 points and a career‑high 34.8 minutes this season, providing efficient scoring and perimeter defense.
  • Philadelphia is navigating other health issues, including Adem Bona’s sprained ankle and Paul George’s managed return that kept him out vs. Toronto.
  • Joel Embiid practiced in full this week, and Trendon Watford has logged increased minutes while shooting 41.7% from three.
