Video doesn't show vehicle injuring Philadelphia 76ers' Oubre Jr. in hit-and-run; police still investigating
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia police said they still have no videos or images of the vehicle that struck 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. in a hit-and-run at Spruce and Hicks Streets last weekend.
Police have viewed video from the period of time in question, when the Sixers wing said he was hit by a silver-colored car at 7:40 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11, and said it doesn't show the hit and run.
CBS Philadelphia also viewed the same video and did not see the collision.
Police have said there were no witnesses to the incident.
Sources with the 76ers organization said given Oubre's short time living in Center City, he wasn't exactly sure of the location of the crash when talking with detectives at Jefferson Hospital, and that he was also disoriented.
CBS Philadelphia has learned that Oubre initially went home after the collision, and sources said he only went to nearby Jefferson Hospital after having trouble breathing.
The impact left Oubre with a fractured rib and other injuries.
In a statement, a 76ers spokesperson said the team "appreciates the efforts of local police for investigating the situation and the support Oubre Jr. has received from the Philadelphia community."
Oubre returned to the Sixers' facility three days after the incident on Tuesday.
Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said he hasn't spoken to Oubre since police revealed they haven't found any surveillance footage of the hit-and-run.
"I just kind of made aware that people were talking about that," Nurse said. "I'm going believe Kelly at his word and all that stuff, focus on this game and handle things as they come."
In his first season in Philadelphia since signing a one-year free-agent contract late in the summer, Oubre has averaged 16.8 points.
Authorities said Oubre is not accused of anything and the investigation remains open.
