Kelly Oubre was integral in the Phoenix Suns’ hopes of competing for a playoff seed. With his loss, the road just became a little harder.
What a bummer. Seriously. Yesterday afternoon, Phoenix Suns fans were hit with news that was definitely unwanted, with the report that Kelly Oubre Jr. would be unavailable for the remainder of the season. If you remember (and really, which Suns fan could forget) Oubre underwent arthroscopic surgery over three months ago to address a torn meniscus in his right knee. At the time, re-evaluation was set four weeks from the surgery, obviously followed by the long layoff.
