Sixers' Kelly Oubre Jr. hints at return from injury on social media
When the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, Kelly Oubre Jr. will remain sidelined. He has not played since March 10 due to a left elbow sprain and the Sixers could use the services of the 11-year veteran out of Kansas as they look to make a run into the top 6 in the East.
Oubre is averaging 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists while shooting 36.1% from deep. He has been a consistent player for Philadelphia all season long and it needs his versatility out on the floor.

Oubre posted a meme of the Dragonball Z character Goku in the healing chamber on his Instagram story. This indicates that he is close a return to the floor. He also had “soon” as a comment on the post.
With 10 games remaining, the Sixers are only a game back of the Atlanta Hawks for the No. 6 seed which represents the final guaranteed playoff spot in the East. This race looks like it will come down to the wire.
