This is all new territory for Kelly Oubre.
Sidelined for the past month recovering from surgery on his left hand, the Charlotte Hornets swingman can’t stand his current situation. He feels powerless to offer up any assistance and the feeling nearly makes him sick in every inch of his 6-foot-6 frame.
“It’s terrible, I hate it,” Oubre said Thursday. “I’ve never really sat out during the season ... for this amount of time. It’s just tough, man, watching my guys put in the pain, go out there and compete, play and have fun and just win games.
