Another day, another piece of unfortunate Sixers injury news. The Sixers announced Wednesday that an MRI on Kelly Oubre Jr. revealed the 30-year-old wing suffered a sprain of the lateral collateral ligament in his left elbow. He’ll be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks.  Oubre hurt the elbow during the Sixers’ win Tuesday night over the Grizzlies and wore a wrap around it postgame. He logged a team-high 38 minutes and scored a season-high 30 points. The 35-30 Sixers’ injury troubles have escalated in recent days. On top of Oubre, the Sixers won’t have the following players for their game Thursday in Detroit against the 46-18 Pistons: Tyrese Maxey (right pinky finger tendon sprain) Joel Embiid (right oblique strain) Paul George (suspension) Johni Broome (right knee meniscus surgery recovery)  The team also listed Adem Bona as questionable with back soreness. Oubre was out from mid-November to early January after suffering a left knee LCL sprain. He’s played an important role for a Sixers team light on wing depth and averaged 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals over 41 games.  In the short term, two-way contract player Dalen Terry and 22-year-old Justin Edwards may very well be in line for increased minutes on the wing. Terry closed out the Memphis game and had a solid night, posting five points on 2-for-3 shooting, four assists and two rebounds.  ...read more read less
