Hurt, Kelly Oubre Jr. doesn’t want to fall into depression
Nov. 14 vs. Pistons, Kelly Oubre Jr. was injured ligament of the left knee and could not play the second half. More precisely, he aggravated an injury sustained three days earlier.
“I got hurt against the Celtics, but it wasn’t too bad. I got hurt again, but I wasn’t lucky this time.” says the former Wizards winger.
He has now been stuck in the infirmary for three weeks and a new report on his health will be given early next week. “It’s a slow process. I’m not playing with Mother Nature and letting my body heal, I’m taking my time. Every day is a challenge. But it’s getting better, progressing well.”
After missing nine games in a row, Kelly Oubre Jr., who is averaging 16.8 points this season, still feels the frustration. He doesn’t hide it.
“It’s boring. I try to keep my head above water, stay lucid. I struggle with depression and everything that comes when I can’t do my job and fulfill my mission,” confides. “It’s a different challenge and I accept it. I want to be with the boys. I want to help them, I want to help them win matches. I can’t stay on the sidelines. I take things day by day and try to do my best to come back.”
