Kelly Oubre Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Returns from injury in loss Oubre ended Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nuggets with two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and two blocks across 16 minutes.

Impact Oubre returned after missing the previous two games due to a calf injury. While the fact that he only missed two games is a positive, his on-court production has been the complete opposite. He finished with a season-low two points, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to his career in Indiana. Through eight appearances, he has averaged just 8.5 points and 0.9 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 3 • Associated Press

Late scratch Monday Oubre (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Oubre is dealing with a bruised left knee and will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Pacers will be extremely shorthanded Monday, opening the door for Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker to take on significant workloads.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Shifting to bench Monday Oubre will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Hawks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Oubre will revert to a reserve role after most recently starting in Sunday's 98-90 loss to Brooklyn. The Pacers will have just eight players active, so he should still see ample playing time off the bench.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Solid scoring effort Oubre finished with 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Oubre provided efficient secondary scoring for Indiana, reaching double figures while shooting 50 percent from the field. The veteran wing logged 30 minutes and finished as one of five Pacers to score at least 13 points. His playing time gives him opportunities to contribute in multiple categories, though his modest rebounding and defensive production limited his overall fantasy impact Wednesday.

Drawing start Monday Oubre will start Monday's game against the Bucks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact Andrew Nembhard (neck/back) has been ruled out Monday, opening up a spot in the starting five for Oubre. The Kansas product also started the 2026-27 opener and finished with four points, two rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes against New Orleans.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Oubre is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com

Impact Jarace Walker will replace Oubre in the first unit for Friday's game. Oubre saw 28 minutes as a starter in the Pacers' season opener, but his playing time may be reduced to the lower 20s in the reserve role.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Full stat line in start Oubre accumulated four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 win over New Orleans.

Impact Oubre is occupying a starting role for the time being while Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) is sidelined. While he holds some short-term streaming appeal, Oubre is likely to move into a bench role once Nesmith is healthy.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles despite start Oubre finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in 16 minutes during Friday's 128-127 preseason loss to the Bucks.

Impact Oubre remained in the starting lineup, although he failed to deliver in any way, shapre or form. While it has been a decent preseason for Oubre, the simple fact is that his production can be sporadic, making him a tough player to roster with any confidence. He will almost certainly play a major role off the bench for his new team, likely flirting with 27 minutes on most nights. However, poor efficiency and a lack of consistent peripheral production makes him nothing more than a stream-level player.

Return of Pacers' Haliburton from injury is latest big event to shake up the Central Division

Tyrese Haliburton is back from an Achilles tendon injury to try helping the Indiana Pacers reassert themselves as title contenders

OCTOBER 15 • Associated Press

Records 12 points in start Oubre finished with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 preseason loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact With Aaron Nesmith (rest), Andrew Nembhard (rest) and T.J. McConnell (undisclosed) all sidelined, Oubre drew the start and helped fill the scoring void. The veteran wing has now reached double figures in consecutive preseason appearances, giving Indiana another perimeter option as it sorts through its backcourt and wing rotation.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Drains three triples in loss Oubre registered 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and a rebound across 20 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.

Impact The veteran wing, who started in place of Tyrese Haliburton (rest), provided valuable floor spacing for Indiana's starting unit, finishing with a plus-5 rating. His contributions were primarily concentrated on scoring, as he recorded no assists, steals or blocks, but his shooting efficiency stood out during his limited playing time. Oubre's ability to knock down perimeter shots should help Indiana generate offense throughout the season, and while he's ticketed for a bench role to open the season, he should remain a valuable fantasy contributor thanks to his scoring prowess.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Active in limited minutes Oubre finished with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason victory over Minnesota.

Impact Oubre made his only field-goal attempt and contributed defensively during his brief appearance. The veteran wing will look to establish a consistent role in Indiana's rotation as a key part of the second unit.
