While Oubre is in stable condition, he is expected to “miss significant time due to his injuries, but those aren’t considered to be season-ending.”
Oubre is in his first year with the 76ers after spending time with the Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and Charlotte Hornets.
This season, Oubre is averaging 16.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
Up next for the 76ers is a home game against the Indiana Pacers. Tip-off between the Pacers and 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center is set for 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 12.
