Re: Kelly Oubre struck by car, serious injuries, but not life threatenting
Howdy gentlemen,
Just passing by to send my well wishes on Kelly's recovery. That must feel really bad for you guys, such bad luck...
Having gone under the knife 4 times in the last 20 years, I've had my fair share of bad luck with injuries as well, though not the same case (hit & run).
I'm just hoping that you guys can have a full, healthy team to root for during the most important part of the season.

Maybe the ribs are just cracked and he can comeback in less than a month?

Well wishes and a fast recovery to Kelly.
As for the Sixers, as mentioned this is the second player the franchise has tried to kill and this is way beyond coincidental now.

From Pompey
According to the incident report, Kelly Oubre Jr. was struck in the upper chest area with the Silver vehicle's driver-side mirrior. The car then fled the scene, according to the incident report. The report adds that PFD Medics responded to the scene and transported Oubre to Jefferson Hospital in stable condition. In addition to a broken rib, the incident report said he suffered injuries to his hip and right leg.

Re: Kelly Oubre struck by car, serious injuries, but not life threatening
I broke my ribs pretty badly 12 months ago - still have issues sleeping now.
It was excruciating for the first month. I sneezed and nearly crashed my car. I've broken my arm, fingers, thumb, foot, toes. Ribs are the worst.
Unless it's just a small fracture, he'll be out for 3 months and struggle with it for the rest of the season. The problem will be, his brain will subconsciously try and protect his ribs, so his movement with be really impacted.

He's a young professional athlete, he's going to get the best care and rehab imaginable, and we don't know how bad the break is.
It's apples and oranges comparing the recovery time of a pro athlete to an average person.

Hope you're doing better now. That does not sound fun at all.

I have access to the medical staff from a professional sports team who helped me with the injury, they say there is basically nothing you can do to speed up the recovery of broken ribs.

Wife used to work with Flyers team doctors over at Penn. Broken ribs are a 4 week recovery.

Well when an unnamed Flyers star in the early 2000s came into their office and was diagnosed with broken ribs, the team listed him as "day-to-day with an upper body injury" and she said, that he'll be out a month with that injury. He was out a month.

Was he hit by a car?

Why would that be relevant? Do broken bones sustained by car accident heal differently than broken bones sustained in other manners?

The point is the severity differs and Oubre sustained multiple injuries. One guy your wife treated 20 years ago who recovered in a month is not all that comparable.

Re: Kelly Oubre struck by car, serious injuries, but not life threatening
Not going to jump to any conclusions yet, but police have investigated and have been unable to find video evidence of the hit and run or any eyewitnesses. That area of Philly is full of CCTVs, so they'd have a wide range of areas covered. Also it's a heavily trafficked area by pedestrian. Some people are speculating that he wasn't hit by a car and made up a story as some sort of cover for something else going down.
I'm not going to go there now, no reason to make any assumptions about anything. I'll take his word for it until the facts can irrefutably prove otherwise. But just wanted to share the update nonetheless.

Crazy. So what would happen to him (assuming he is able to recover in a timely fashion) if it came out that he was lying? Would he be subject to some sort of discipline whether legally or by the Sixers?

A fake report of a hit n run? Would totally fit in with Sixers bat-sh** crazy things that happen to this team.

It could fall under obstruction of justice legally, which is a misdemeanor in PA. He'd probably just be fined for that. If it turned out he did lie(which again, not even going there yet) it would depend on what would be covered up to grasp the full extent of any legal penalties. For example, if someone lies just because they don't feel like giving info to the cops, then it would probably just be a fine and end there. If they lied because they beat the crap out of someone and received injuries in the process and tried to cover up some other type of crime, then that's another story.
I'd also assume in terms of the NBA he probably wouldn't be suspended for just lying to cops if it came to that, but if it happened to cover up something bad then it would come into play.

One of the replies to that tweet said it’s sounds like he was hit by an off duty cop
I say we just all walk away & call it a day. No need to investigate any further lol

Clarification: police saying they do have video of the location and time in question, but there was no accident at the time and location Oubre gave police. But they said they have not accused him of lying and will continue to review video footage to try and find it.
