PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are still searching for clues in connection with a reported hit-and-run crash over the weekend that injured 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr.
Police said Oubre, 27, was clipped by a silver car around 7:20 p.m. Saturday in Center City.
Oubre told investigators he was walking alone when he was hit by the driver's side mirror at Spruce and Hicks streets.

As the investigation continues, police confirmed Wednesday that there's no video evidence, at this time, that depicts a collision.
"We do not have any video evidence or images showing a collision at the reported location. Our investigators have been in that area and at this time we do not have any evidence to show of a hit and run," Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp told Action News in a statement.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call investigators at 215-686-TIPS.
The Sixers guard was hospitalized for a broken rib, lacerations and other injuries. He has since returned to the team's practice facility.
"I went to see him today, he's in good spirits. He worked out again today on the bicycle. We're just trying to get him back on the court as soon as we can," said head coach Nick Nurse before Wednesday night's game.

The Sixers released this statement as Oubre continues to recover:
"Oubre Jr. continues to progress from his injuries and has resumed light physical activity with hopes of returning to play in the coming weeks. The organization added that it appreciates the efforts of local police for investigating the situation and the support Oubre Jr. has received from the Philadelphia community."
In his first season in Philadelphia since signing a one-year free-agent contract late in the summer, Oubre has averaged 16.8 points.
There's no timetable for his return to the court.
