With police still investigating, Oubre said he wouldn’t go into specifics of what happened on November 11, when he was hospitalized with a broken rib and other injuries.”This is very hard for us to have to deal with and for me to miss being on the court, which keeps me sane, and a lot of people were very inconsiderate and insensitive to try to worry about video cameras,” Oubre said.
