76ers' Kelly Oubre Jr suffers broken rib after getting hit by car; police say driver fled scene

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. suffered a broken rib on Saturday night when he was struck by a vehicle in the Center City neighborhood, officials said.

Oubre was taken to a hospital in stable condition and was released hours later. The 76ers ruled him out for Sunday’s game and said he would be re-evaluated in about a week.

Authorities in Philadelphia said Oubre was walking near his home at around 7:20 p.m. ET when a vehicle traveling in his same direction "at a high rate of speed" tried to turn south onto the street he was crossing. Police said the vehicle hit him "in the upper chest area with the driver-side mirror."

The vehicle, described as a silver color car, kept going and fled the scene, police said. Oubre also suffered injuries to his "hip and right leg," police said.

Oubre signed with the 76ers in September after spending his previous two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets.

Oubre was the 15th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks, but his draft rights were traded to the Washington Wizards.

The 27-year-old spent his first three-and-a-half seasons with the Wizards until he was traded to the Phoenix Suns in 2019. Oubre was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2020, but didn't play for them, as he was promptly sent to the Golden State Warriors, where he played one season.

Oubre signed a two-year deal with Charlotte ahead of the 2021-22 season.

He averages 12.8 points per game in his career, but last year, he dropped a career-best 20.3 per contest.

The former Kansas Jayhawks star is putting up 16.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in his first season with Philly, averaging 29 minutes per game and getting five starts in his eight games played. He's shooting 50% from the floor and 37.5% from deep.

Miranda Devine: Comer's subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden notching investigation to 'very aggressive level'

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that Republican Rep. James Comer's subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden were notching the probe to a "very aggressive level."

"I think this is the next phase. The subpoenas that James Comer signed last week and the requests for various associates and family members of the Bidens to come in for transcribed interviews is really notching it up to a very aggressive level. And this is why you see Hunter Biden's lawyer panicking, writing to the speaker, Mike Johnson, and saying, ‘call your dogs off.’ This is why you're seeing hit jobs on James Comer spreading out through the so-called prestige media," she said. 

Devine said the Bidens know that Comer "has the receipts."

"And one by one, he'll be wrapping up these various Biden family members, including Hunter and James Biden," she said, adding that Comer also had his eyes on one of President Biden's donors.

"It's alarming to me that Democrats are trying to deny what we have learned from the House Oversight Committee. Do you think they're just trying to support their guy or is it partly because the media, they know will give them a pass by not reporting any of this?" Bartiromo asked. 

Devine said it was both, and said that there were a lot of people "compromised by the fact that they've covered up for the Biden family."

"So many people in the DOJ, in the FBI, in the CIA, and throughout Joe's vice presidency, it was evident, and we now know there were more than two dozen complaints [that] came into the DOJ from all sorts of sources about Joe Biden's potential corruption, and they were all ignored and buried and suppressed," Devine said. 

Devine said the DOJ allowed the statute of limitations to expire on the most serious charge against Hunter Biden.

Bartiromo also asked Devine about the president's upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco

"Well, I think we've heard that they're going to mention something about Iran. But really, President Xi has the measure of Joe Biden. He knows that he's a bought-and-paid-for asset according to all the evidence we've seen. He knows President Xi knows better than we do," Devine said. 

She said that she didn't think Biden would be pressing Xi on anything "uncomfortable."

"It'll all be very pleasant on the streets of San Francisco, and now cleaned of homeless people for the first time, and nothing will be achieved," she said.
