Prayers for Kelly Oubre Jr!

By on

        It was recently reported by Adrian Wojnarowski that Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. was a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle in Center City, Philadelphia and was hospitalized. Oubre Jr is expected to miss significant time due to his injuries, but those aren't considered season-ending. Local authorities are investigating the incident. According to Oubre Jr's spokesman, Oubre Jr was walking near his residence when struck by the motor vehicle. 



        Kelly Oubre Jr signed with the Sixers this past summer on a veteran minimum deal. However his production on the Sixers has been greater than his deal. Oubre Jr is averaging 16 points while shooting 50% from the field. He was even promoted into a starting role after the James Harden trade. The Sixers are currently number one in the Eastern Conference standings but losing Kelly Oubre Jr for a significant amount of time is a major lose for the Sixers. 



        It was recently reported by Shams Charania that Kelly Oubre Jr sustained broken ribs, assortment of bruises and cuts to his body after being struck by a motor vehicle. Oubre Jr was fortunate to have avoided much serious injuries but he will miss most of the season as he recovers. Kelly Oubre Jr was released from the hospital and will work closely with the 76ers medical staff on treatment and care for his injuries. Prayers for Kelly Oubre Jr and his recovery.

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

Knicks Big Man Search

By on

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
