The shooting guard was in stable condition, according to Wojnarowski.
In a series of follow-up tweets, Wojnarowski said that Oubre Jr. is “expected to miss significant time due to his injuries, but those aren’t considered to be season-ending.”
The extent of his injuries has not been revealed.
Team representatives were with Oubre Jr. at the hospital, including 76ers President Daryl Morey.
Oubre Jr. was released from the hospital at around 11 pm, Wojnarowski wrote in a follow-up tweet.
He is expected to work with 76ers staff on treatment and care as he recovers.
Authorities are investigating the incident.

He recorded 26 minutes of playing time.
So far this season for the 76ers, Oubre Jr. is averaging 16.3 points per game.
