The Philadelphia Police Department has confirmed that Kelly Oubre Jr. was involved in a car accident after the 76ers' Game 2 loss to the Knicks on Monday night.
The police said that the crash happened at around 1:45 am on Tuesday.
According to the police, Oubre's 2021 purple matte Lamborghini "disregarded a red traffic signal" and collided with a 2023 Hyundai Elantra. Due to damage, both cars had to be towed from the site.
Oubre was quite fond of his car, having taken pictures with it for a German-language media outlet.
The other driver was not named in TMZ's report, and no injuries were reported. The Sixers told the outlet they were aware of the incident.
Oubre, 28, has not yet spoken about the accident.
The crash happened hours after the Sixers fell to the Knicks 104-101 at Madison Square Garden, dropping them to 0-2 as the series moved to Philadelphia.
It happened five months after Oubre was a pedestrian hit by a vehicle in an alleged hit-and-run in Center City, Philadelphia.
He missed 11 games due to injuries to his hip, right leg, and broken ribs between November and early December.
Furthermore, the Sixers announced on X, formerly Twitter, that Oubre would start in the starting lineup for Game 3 against the Knicks on Thursday at 7:30 pm ET.
In the Sixers' Game 2 defeat, Oubre started and played 26 minutes, finishing with four points, two rebounds, and three assists. The former first-round pick appeared to be making progress.
However, Oubre will be able to turn things around later on Thursday. Game 3 between Philadelphia and NY is scheduled to begin at 4:30 pm PT at the Wells Fargo Center.
