(PHILADELPHIA) — Philadelphia 76ers basketball player Kelly Oubre Jr. was injured when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver Saturday night while walking near his home, according to police and team officials.
The 27-year-old Oubre was hospitalized with undisclosed injuries, according to the 76ers.
Oubre, who joined the 76ers this year after playing three seasons with the Charlotte Hornets, was walking near his home in downtown Philadelphia’s Center City neighborhood when he was struck at an intersection, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
The silver car that hit Oubre fled the scene, according to police. No arrests have been announced.
The hit-and-run unfolded around 7 p.m. at the intersection of Broad and Locust streets, according to police.
After getting struck by the car, Oubre managed to walk a short distance to another intersection where he flagged down paramedics, who took him to Jefferson Hospital, police told ABC station WPVI in Philadelphia. Oubre was in stable condition when he arrived at the hospital, the 76ers said in a social media post.
The 76ers president, Daryl Morey, and other team representatives rushed to the hospital to be at Oubre’s side, team officials told ESPN.
Oubre was released from the hospital late Saturday night after receiving treatment, a 76ers’ spokesperson told ESPN.
The team said Oubre is expected to miss “a significant” amount of playing time but is expected to return to the court before the end of the season. The team said Oubre will work closely with the 76ers’ medical staff on treatment and care for his injuries but did not provide specific information on his injuries.
The incident came as Oubre was having one of the best starts in his nine seasons as an NBA player, averaging 16.3 points per game and shooting 50% to help the 76ers get off to a 7-1 record. The team is scheduled to play the Indiana Pacers in Philadelphia on Sunday.
Oubre began his NBA career in 2015 when he was the 15th player selected in the NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks and was immediately traded to the Washington Wizards.
Oubre has also played for the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors. He signed a 1-year deal with the 76ers in September.
(NEW YORK) — Major League Baseball announced on Monday that a new committee of researchers and experts is working to evaluate the statistics of Negro Leagues players. The move comes three years after MLB said it was “officially elevating the Negro Leagues to ‘Major League’ status.”
The committee, which MLB says has already met several times, will be advising MLB on which stats to integrate into the Major League record books. ABC News first reported the existence of the committee last month in the “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” podcast. When asked, MLB did not provide ABC News with a timeline for the initiative.
The statistics of the Negro League players have been gathered by third-party data researchers from Seamheads and Baseball-Reference over several decades and have been widely used to compare these players with their Major League counterparts. These comparisons have often sparked debate, as the Negro Leagues statistics were less thoroughly kept than Major League records, partially because of the Negro Leagues’ financial instability brought on by segregation.
The statistics of 3,400 players, subject to evaluation by MLB and data researchers, may now be added to MLB’s official statistical record book, held by the Elias Sports Bureau.
The Negro Leagues were formed in the era of segregation in baseball, which ended in 1947 when Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers. When MLB announced that they were “elevating” Negro Leagues to the status of Major Leagues, many family members of Negro League players were looking forward to seeing the results.
However, in the three years after the December 2020 announcement, MLB did not provide any significant updates about the progress of the initiative.
Sean Gibson, the great-grandson of Negro Leagues power-hitter Josh Gibson, said he felt like he was in “limbo.” He said the announcement by MLB came “at a time when African Americans” were “upset because it came during the George Floyd killing that same year.”
“I had several reporters ask me, did I think MLB did this as a PR move?” Gibson said on “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” podcast, “And I said, ‘well, I can’t speak on behalf of Major League Baseball. You have to ask them that question, but I hope not.’”
As reported in the podcast, some family members of Negro Leagues players were invited to a meeting earlier this year with MLB. According to sources who attended the meeting, families asked the MLB representative to give them an update on the incorporation of the Negro Leagues statistics. The MLB representative responded, “Haven’t we already done that?”
MLB later told ABC News that this was a misunderstanding, and that the MLB rep was instead referring to the “process created to complete an agreement” for use of the Negro Leagues data.
MLB also told ABC that the waiting period between announcement and implementation was a result of treating the process with “thoroughness and thoughtfulness,” and that they “spent time coming to an agreement with experts that allows us to use the data on which the decision was based and partner with the leading researchers behind that effort.”
The host of “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” podcast, Vanessa Ivy Rose – who is also the granddaughter of Negro Leagues legend Norman ‘Turkey’ Stearnes – posted on X that this committee announcement feels like “the same story all over again.” “This whole article” she said, referring to the MLB article announcing the committee, “can be summed up in one word: wait.”
