Authorities in Philadelphia said Oubre was walking near his home at around 7:20 p.m. ET when a vehicle traveling in his same direction "at a high rate of speed" tried to turn south onto the street he was crossing. Police said the vehicle hit him "in the upper chest area with the driver-side mirror."

The vehicle, described as a silver color car, kept going and fled the scene, police said. Oubre also suffered injuries to his "hip and right leg," police said.

Oubre signed with the 76ers in September after spending his previous two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets.
