Oubre was walking near his home at about 7:20 p.m. Saturday and was heading west on a street when a vehicle travelling in the same direction “at a high rate of speed” tried to turn south onto the street he was crossing. The vehicle hit him “in the upper chest area with the driver-side mirror,” police said Sunday.
The car, described as silver in color, kept going south and fled the scene. Fire department medics responded and took Oubre to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital “in stable condition with a broken rib and injuries to his hip and right leg,” police said, adding that an investigation is ongoing.
Yeah, I got that and I worked in Center City years ago so I am familiar. I should have asked why he was walking alone. No matter. It's a tragedy nonetheless. I am hoping he has a speedy recovery.
Surveillance footage recovered so far in the alleged hit-and-run that injured 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. shows no evidence that a crash occurred at the Center City intersection where Oubre reported being hit on Saturday night, police said.

Gripp emphasized that police have not accused Oubre of anything and the investigation is ongoing. But the lack of immediate visual evidence confirming the crash on a well-trafficked downtown street raises questions about the information Oubre provided to police.

The team initially said Oubre was expected to miss significant time due to his injuries. But Oubre has shown up at the Sixers practice facility this week, and went through another light workout on Wednesday. The team is hopeful that he could return within weeks now, rather than months. “He rode the exercise bike for a little bit,” coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday. “So he’s doing OK.”
Great that's doing better... but did he just lie about what happened?
Here is video of Oubre coming home after being hit by a "car."
It looks like he's just acting, and not a good one at that. I hope I'm wrong though.

Why was he walking around Center City Philly anyway? I do feel for him. He was having a good year.
