    Wasn't he picked up at the scene by first responders?

    The crash happened around 7:20 p.m. at the intersection of Spruce and Hick streets, according to police.

    The vehicle -- only described by police as a "silver vehicle" -- was traveling at a high rate of speed, when officials said, it struck Oubre as he was walking across Hick Street.

    Police said the 76er was struck by the driver's side mirror in his upper chest. After the crash, officials said, the vehicle fled the scene, headed south on Hick Street.

    Officials said he was transported to a hospital “in stable condition with a broken rib and injuries to his hip and right leg,” after being hit and he was released a few hours later.

    The Sixers said Oubre was walking near his residence in downtown Philadelphia when he was struck.

    Philadelphia police said on Wednesday that they have found no evidence supporting that there was a crash.

    TMZ has ring doorbell footage of Oubre pulling a bike into his apartment seemingly in pain and talking to someone. TMZ says in the video he says "'I got hit by a car,'" which the person he's speaking to repeats. They also said the person Oubre's talking to is his wife.

    According to the part of the story you posted, it seems he left the scene of the accident and went home, and first responders tended to him at his home after his wife called for them.

    And did the bike that appeared in the Ring doorbell footage show any signs of being in an accident?

    Would a mod please change the title of this thread to “Kelly Oubre Fell Off His Bike”?

    How about "Kelly Oubre injured in collision while cycling"? No idea exactly what collided with what, but that seems accurate regardless.

    The big question overall, is, was there actually a Hit-and-Run involving a moving vehicle?

    The other is, was he walking or riding a bicycle?

    Kelly Oubre gets caught in another woman’s apartment and has to jump out a third story window?

    Seems as plausible as his other story :dunno:

    Whenever blurry photos come up, I harken back to the infamous post of…..”YOU’RE PURPOSELY TRYING TO DECEIVE THIS FORUM!!!!!” Post by somebody on here. They got so pissed at me because I posted a fake blurry picture. God I wish I had time to go find out which dork on here it was. Classic moment in S2 history.

    I can’t imagine hanging on to something someone said on the internet one time. Seems like a lot of wasted energy.

    Not at all. Never even think about it until somebody brings up the blurry pics. It was hilarious. I just remember some clown on here getting all upset about a blurry pic. Now THAT is something I couldn’t imagine doing.
    Do you remember who it was? Maybe on my next flight I’ll go back and try to find it.

    I believe it was the guy who went by "THE" for a while.
