Prayers up for Kelly Oubre. He was hit at Broad and Locust by a car Saturday night and walked a block before paramedics spotted him, via 6ABC.com:
It happened on Broad and Locust streets at approximately 7 p.m., according to police.
After being struck by the car, Oubre Jr. walked to Spruce and Hicks streets where he was found by medics.
The player was reportedly walking near his residence when he was struck. He was transported to Jefferson Hospital, where he is in stable condition.
Sucks for a guy who has been a lightning rod for this team to miss extended time:
