The Washington Wizards are without Kelly Oubre Jr. for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Boston Celtics. Oubre was suspended after an altercation in Game 3 with Boston big man Kelly Olynyk.
Folks at the Verizon Center will miss Oubre, but one man is doing what he can to keep the Washington wingman there in spirit: owner Ted Leonsis.
Leonsis showed up to Game 4 wearing Oubre’s jersey over his button down shirt and tie.

Oubre will be back for Game 5.
Meanwhile, the suspended guard was on the playoff tickets for Game 4, which I am sure were printed well before he went after Olynyk.
The only place you will see Kelly Oubre today is on your ticket. #wizceltics #nbaplayoffs #nbaontnt pic.twitter.com/l1uvIGVnx3
