Oubre didn’t play in Saturday’s 125-109 win over the Houston Rockets, and Kerr told reporters in a postgame video conference that Oubre is “day to day.” “I just talked to him just now, and he said he’s doing pretty well,” Kerr said. “Day to day. It’s nothing too serious, but he’s not necessarily ready to play Monday. I think it’s literally day to day, so we’ll see.”
Kellan Olson: Kelly Oubre Jr. said on FSAZ’s pregame show that he’s in the bubble to play basketball and doing everything possible to accomplish that. Said he’s getting better and his knee feels fine. “Some reactionary stuff” he has to hone in on after quarantine
Kellan Olson: Monty Williams said Kelly Oubre Jr. has been doing a “little bit” of on-the-court work but most of his work is on the side rehabbing. Described him as looking great.
Kelly Oubre won't return from injury this season
Stadium: Suns F Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) is expected to miss resumption of season to continue rehabbing, reports our NBA Insider @ShamsCharania.
Oubre tore his right meniscus in late February and had successful surgery to repair it on March 3. He was to be re-evaluated in four weeks, but that was before the quarantine hit for coronavirus, and Oubre spent the majority of his rehab process isolated away from the medical staff at home.
Suns owner Robert Sarver clarified that on Arizona Sports’ Burns & Gambo Thursday when asked if Oubre will play. “Yes,” he said. “I expect he will play, yes.”
The workouts will be particularly helpful to two players, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Frank Kaminsky, who had their rehab processes halted. General manager James Jones described those players as “stuck” at a certain point in mid-April because of the team’s inability to work them through the recoveries first-hand.
Gina Mizell: James Jones said Kelly Oubre Jr. (meniscus surgery) and Frank Kaminsky (patella stress fracture) have both medically healed, but “kind of pressed the pause button” because they can’t do full-blown sports rehab. If season resumes, Jones is optimistic they’d be able to play. #Suns
Kelly Oubre out at least four weeks
Kellan Olson: Monty said it might be weak to admit it but he said he thinks the team was down emotionally a few notches after Oubre’s injury. Said it’s now about digesting it and moving on. Would not confirm Oubre having surgery.
Duane Rankin: #Suns coach Monty Williams didn’t have a diagnosis for Kelly Oubre Jr. right knee injury, saying Oubre and Suns are still gathering information. Oubre reportedly has a torn meniscus. Dario Saric will again start for Oubre.
Gina Mizell: Kelly Oubre Jr.’s knee injury is still an unspecified diagnosis on the #Suns’ official injury report for tomorrow’s game against Detroit. He and Kaminsky are the players listed as out.
Chris Haynes: Sources: Oubre Jr. is in the process of seeking a second opinion with a specialist.

Kellan Olson: Williams said today that Baynes, Bridges and Oubre practiced. That would be a first for Bridges and Oubre from what we know. He wouldn’t commit to whether or not they will play tomorrow night in Sacramento.
Kellan Olson: Suns injury updates: – Oubre has right wrist tendinitis. Sidelined w/ daily treatment. No timetable and re-evaluated in 7-10 days. – Bridges has a right patella bone bruise. Rehabbing right knee discomfort. No timetable. Re-evaluated in 7-10 days.
Gina Mizell: No update from Williams on Kelly Oubre (hand) or Mikal Bridges (knee), who did not participate during open portion of practice. “They seem to be progressing, which we all are.” This is a more optimistic viewpoint than that we’re all slowly deteriorating aka dying, ha! #Suns
Gina Mizell: Kelly Oubre has a brace/splint on his right hand and is not participating in the scrimmage work during the open media period. He’s up encouraging/barking at teammates. Mikal Bridges is also still absent. #Suns
Gina Mizell: Igor Kokoskov on Kelly Oubre’s thumb injury: “We feel bad about it. Especially lately, the way he was playing, (he was) a big part of our team, a big part of our offense…he can’t help us on the court, but even that little help on the sideline can be crucial.” #Suns
Adrian Wojnarowski: Phoenix F Kelly Oubre, Jr., will undergo minor procedure on his left thumb and miss rest of season, sources tell ESPN. Oubre’s recovery will be 4-to-6 weeks.

Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. received platelet-rich plasma injections in his right knee Friday in Los Angeles, according to several people close to the situation. Oubre, a second-year player who played through pain during the Wizards’ playoff run, is not expected to undergo further injections and will sit out the next few weeks to rest his knee. Although Oubre could resume basketball activities later this month but will not play with the Wizards’ Summer League team in July.

Washington Wizards small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. plans to undergo PRP injections to his right knee, league sources tell ESPN. Oubre, 21, is expected to be able to return to basketball activities in approximately two weeks, sources say.
The second-year forward has been bothered by the knee injury since the opening-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. He had an MRI last week and, according to league sources, no structural damage was revealed.
Jason Smith and Kelly Oubre missed Monday’s practice session with the Wizards because of sore knees, but their availability for Game 2 vs. the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday doesn’t appear to be in question.
J. Michael Falgoust: Kelly Oubre has been cleared to return I’m told #WizPacers #Wizards
Just as the Wizards seemed to hit their stride and get back Markieff Morris from a foot injury that kept him out a game, they won’t have Kelly Oubre for Sunday’s contest with the L.A. Clippers because he’s in concussion protocol. Oubre, a 6-7 forward who has been a valuable defender coming off the bench or when coach Scott Brooks uses small-ball lineups, is listed out by the team. The Wizards have won four of five games and might not have Jason Smith (right hamstring) after he removed himself from Friday’s win over the Detroit Pistons.
