Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. was reportedly involved in a car accident hours after the team's loss to the New York Knicks on Monday night.

According to TMZ Sports, the accident occurred at around 1:45 AM on Tuesday. Police say Oubre "disregarded a red traffic signal" and hit a Hyundai Elantra with his Lamborghini.

No one was injured in the crash, but both vehicles needed to be towed away from the scene with damage.

The Sixers are reportedly aware of the incident, and it appears that Oubre will be available for Thursday night's Game 3 in Philadelphia.

The Sixers are down 2-0 in the series against the Knicks after a controversial end to Game 2.

The NBA's Last Two Minute report revealed that officials missed several calls, including multiple fouls on Knicks players and a missed timeout signal from Sixers coach Nick Nurse.

Despite the controversial end to the game, the Sixers have two games at home to even things up. They'll get the first chance to get back into the series on Thursday night at home, and Game 4 will follow on Sunday.

This isn't the first time this season that Oubre has been involved in a car accident, as he was reportedly hit by a car back in November.

Authorities disputed the claim, saying that there was no evidence that Oubre was hit, but the 76ers announced that he suffered a broken rib.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the accident, and Oubre plans to be on the court for a pivotal Game 3 on Thursday night.
