Overview
- The team said before Thursday’s game vs. the Warriors that Oubre was re‑evaluated, is progressing, and will be checked again early next week.
- He has missed nine straight games since spraining the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee on Nov. 14 at Detroit.
- Oubre said he is getting better each day and described a slow rehab focused on letting the knee heal and rebuilding strength.
- He noted he also hyperextended the knee on opening night in Boston, which he characterized as a less severe incident.
- Before the setback he started regularly and averaged 16.8 points and 5.1 rebounds on 49.7% shooting, and he called being sidelined difficult as he tries to stay above water.
