76ers' Kelly Oubre: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Oubre has been ruled out Monday against the Hawks due to a right ankle sprain.

With the 76ers' season slipping away, it wouldn't be surprising if Oubre sat out more games down the stretch, even though his ankle injury doesn't seem to be anything serious.
