City police say Oubre was crossing at the 1400 block of Spruce Street at Hick Street when a speeding vehicle tried turning onto Hick, hitting him in the chest with the driver's side mirror.

The vehicle fled the location south on Hicks Street. Philadelphia Fire Department medics responded to the scene and brought Oubre to Jefferson Hospital in stable condition with a broken rib and injuries to his hip and right leg. 

ESPN says the guard will miss a "significant" amount of play time this season due to his injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
