Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. received platelet-rich plasma injections in his right knee Friday in Los Angeles, according to several people close to the situation. Oubre, a second-year player who played through pain during the Wizards’ playoff run, is not expected to undergo further injections and will sit out the next few weeks to rest his knee. Although Oubre could resume basketball activities later this month but will not play with the Wizards’ Summer League team in July. Oubre emerged as the Wizards’ most versatile perimeter defender last season and averaged 6.3 points and 3.3 rebounds. He scored 12 points in each of the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Boston, but his most notorious moment came in Game 3, when he angrily reacted to a hard screen set by Boston’s Kelly Olynyk, charging into Olynyk and knocking him to the ground. The NBA issued Oubre a one-game suspension. By Game 7, to the surprise of many, Oubre appeared on the court for only six seconds as Coach Scott Brooks shortened the rotation and relied heavily on his starters in the 115-105 loss. - See more at: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...eatment-on-right-knee/?utm_term=.6544402096b3
