Overview
- The 76ers said an MRI confirmed a left LCL sprain for Kelly Oubre Jr., who will be sidelined at least two weeks before a re-evaluation.
- Oubre sustained the injury on Nov. 14 against Detroit after a left-knee hyperextension and has not played since.
- His absence removes an early-season contributor who averaged 18.0 points on 50.7% shooting with 35.4% from three over 11 games.
- Paul George remains on a managed return for a left knee issue and was ruled out Wednesday against the Raptors, while Joel Embiid practiced in full Tuesday following right knee soreness.
- Rookie big man Adem Bona will miss at least two more games with a sprained ankle, tightening depth during a back-to-back set against Toronto and Milwaukee.
