76ers’ Kelly Oubre crashed Lamborghini hours after crushing playoff loss to Knicks

Kelly Oubre Jr. was involved in a car accident after the 76ers’ Game 2 loss to the Knicks on Monday night, TMZ confirmed with the Philadelphia Police Department. 

Oubre’s 2021 purple matte Lamborghini “disregarded a red traffic signal” and hit a 2023 Hyundai Elantra at 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, and both vehicles were towed away from the scene due to damage, police said. 

No injuries were reported, and the other driver was not identified in TMZ’s report.

The Sixers told the outlet they were aware of the incident. 

Oubre, 28, has yet to address the accident publicly. 

The crash occurred hours after the Sixers’ 104-101 loss to the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, which put them in an 0-2 hole as the series shifts to Philadelphia. 

It came five months after Oubre was a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in an alleged hit-and-run in Center City, Philadelphia.

He suffered a broken rib and injuries to his hip and right leg, which caused him to miss 11 games between November and early December.

The Sixers host the Knicks Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET, and the team featured Oubre in the starting lineup for Game 3 in a post on X.

The former first-round pick appeared to be moving well after the accident, and had a monster dunk over Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo in the first quarter.

Oubre started and played 26 minutes in the Sixers’ Game 2 loss — and finished with four points, two rebounds and three assists.
