A little more than two weeks after being hit by a car and suffering a broken rib, Kelly Oubre Jr. reunited with his teammates. He could even train normally today!
“We’ll see where he’s at [mardi] for training », said Nick Nurse before the match against the Lakers. “I know that Simon (Rice, the Sixers vice president in charge of physical preparation) told me we wanted him to take part in the training session today and we’ll see how it goes. But I don’t know if he will fully participate in training [ce mardi] or not “.
Absent for nine games, Kelly Oubre Jr. resumed shooting sessions last week, also working on his physical condition. So the next step is to see how it resists contact.
“He looks pretty good.”recognizes Nick Nurse. “His shot was good. He moves well on the ground. But again, it’s not the same as crashing into different players. »
However, if the winger endures today’s work session, there is a good chance that he will return to the group for the Sixers’ two-game road trip, and therefore that he will play either tomorrow in New Orleans , or Friday, in Boston.
“I think the decision will be made at the end of training [ce mardi] »concludes Nick Nurse from the Philadelpia Inquirer. “If he does well, then yeah, we’ll probably take him with us. Maybe we’ll take it anyway (even if it doesn’t go well). I haven’t thought enough about this yet. »
