Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre was sidelined Sunday after he was struck and injured by a vehicle in a hit-and-run in the heart of Philadelphia, authorities and 76ers officials said. Oubre, 27, was walking in his neighborhood, Center City, when he was hit by a vehicle at or near Broad and Locust streets, a few blocks south of City Hall, about 7 p.m. Saturday, Philadelphia police said in a statement. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was stabilized, the police department said.

A spokesperson told NBC Sports the team didn't see the injuries as season-ending. No arrests had been made, police said, and investigators were trying to figure out the identity of the driver. Oubre was born and raised in New Orleans but moved to the Houston area after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, according to his NBA bio. In college, he played for the Kansas Jayhawks before he was chosen by the Atlanta Hawks as the 15th overall draft pick in 2015.
