[Saba Sports News] Speculation surrounds the alleged hit-and-run incident involving Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr., but Sixers head coach Nick Nurse is dismissing these doubts.
Oubre reportedly sustained serious injuries from being struck by a vehicle, an incident not captured on video or confirmed by photographic evidence. Nurse, addressing questions about Oubre’s credibility before a game against the Boston Celtics, expressed firm belief in Oubre’s account and voiced support for him. A video showing Oubre in pain post-incident has surfaced, but there’s no direct evidence of the event.
Oubre had been performing well, averaging 16.3 points and 5.1 rebounds on 50% shooting in the season’s first eight games, starting in five of them.
