76ers Announce Kelly Oubre Injury News Before Game 4 vs Celtics

Before the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Boston Celtics for Game 4 in South Philly, they added a new name to the injury report in Kelly Oubre.

According to the Sixers’ injury report, Oubre is dealing with right adductor soreness. As a result, he is officially listed as questionable to play against the Celtics.

This season, Oubre has appeared in 50 games for the Sixers (41 appearances were starts). The veteran forward is averaging 31.5 minutes of action.

With the series tied 1-1, the Sixers had an opportunity to get a leg up on Boston while playing on their home court. Friday’s Game 3 was a strong effort from the 76ers, but they dropped the ball in the end. A 108-100 Celtics win gave the second seed a 2-1 lead in the series.

Along with Oubre, the Sixers also listed Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid on the injury report for the next matchup. While Maxey is listed, he is on pace to play in his fourth playoff game this year, as his status is available.

Embiid’s status is listed as doubtful, as he continues recovering from surgery after getting diagnosed with appendicitis before the conclusion of the regular season.

The Game 4 action is set to begin at 7 PM ET on Sunday. With Oubre getting listed as questionable, he’s on pace to be a game-time decision for the matchup. If he doesn’t get the nod to play, then the next chance he could suit up is on Tuesday, April 28, when the Sixers hit the road for Game 5.
