Shylynn Oubre shares first picture with husband Kelly Oubre Jr. after freak accident

Sixers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. was involved in a pedestrian accident during the weekend, and he is currently getting treated in a Philadelphia hospital. The wounds and injuries are not career-ending, however, Oubre will be away from basketball for a long time to heal.

While the basketball community sympathizes with Oubre, his wife, Shylynn, gives a glimpse of how his husband's condition is. In her recent Instagram post, she is seen with the former Kansas Jayhawk player, who has his face covered with cloth.

As expected, Oubre was out in the Sixers' game against the Indiana Pacers. His teammate, Tyrese Maxey, tallied 50 points and dedicated the victory to his hospitalized teammate.

"This had nothing to do with me. This is all Kelly Oubre. We're praying for him. Love my dawg. I just met him, but I love him. I hope he gets well soon," Maxey said during the post-game interview.

Joel Embiid sees Oubre's accident as unfortunate and is glad to hear that the wounds are treatable.

"Man, it's tough. I heard about it- We want to make sure that he is good, 'coz you'll never know," said Embiid after the Pacers game. "It's just unfortunate. ... But I'm happy it wasn't that bad."
