Oubre suffers elbow injury in win over Grizzlies, will be re-evaluated in 2 weeks 

Another day, another piece of unfortunate Sixers injury news.

The Sixers announced Wednesday that an MRI on Kelly Oubre Jr. revealed the 30-year-old wing suffered a sprain of the lateral collateral ligament in his left elbow. He’ll be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks. 

Oubre hurt the elbow during the Sixers’ win Tuesday night over the Grizzlies and wore a wrap around it postgame. He logged a team-high 38 minutes and scored a season-high 30 points.

The 35-30 Sixers’ injury troubles have escalated in recent days. On top of Oubre, the Sixers won’t have the following players for their game Thursday in Detroit against the 46-18 Pistons:

• Tyrese Maxey (right pinky finger tendon sprain)
• Joel Embiid (right oblique strain)
• Paul George (suspension)
• Johni Broome (right knee meniscus surgery recovery) 

The team also listed Adem Bona as questionable with back soreness.

Oubre was out from mid-November to early January after suffering a left knee LCL sprain. He’s played an important role for a Sixers team light on wing depth and averaged 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals over 41 games. 

In the short term, two-way contract player Dalen Terry and 22-year-old Justin Edwards may very well be in line for increased minutes on the wing. Terry closed out the Memphis game and had a solid night, posting five points on 2-for-3 shooting, four assists and two rebounds.
