According to police reports and hospital records, the player was hospitalized last Saturday with broken bones. He was a victim of a hit-and-run in Philly. The details of what exactly happened are not clear yet. But allegedly, he got hit at the corner of Broad and Locust Street, with the vehicle in question fleeing the scene without a trace. As a result of the hit, Oubre is said to have sustained some injuries.
The 27-year-old player was hospitalized in stable condition after he was struck by the vehicle earlier in the night.
