KELLY OUBRE JR. NEWS

Churns out 22 in Saturday's win Oubre contributed 22 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 109-98 win over the Hornets.

Impact Making his fifth straight start, Oubre hit for at least 20 points for the fifth time in eight March contests. Saturday's performance came with Tobias Harris (ankle) sidelined, but Oubre's workload and shot volume didn't increase, just his efficiency. On the month, he's averaging 20.5 points, 5.6 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.8 steals.

Pops for team-high 19 Oubre ended Tuesday's 106-79 loss to the Knicks with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.

Impact The 28-year-old forward led the depleted Sixers in scoring on the night. Oubre has started the last three games and scored at least 18 points in six straight, averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch, but his usage could decline once Tyrese Maxey gets back up to speed following his concussion.

Leads in win with double-double Oubre supplied 18 points (6-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 79-73 victory over New York.

Impact Oubre led all Philadelphia players in scoring and steals while ending as one of two players with a double-digit rebound total en route to a double-double performance. Oubre has hauled in 10 or more boards in two games this season, both of which ended in double-doubles. He has now posted at least 18 points in five straight outings.

Produces 20 points in defeat Oubre notched 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 103-95 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Oubre finished as Philadelphia's second-leading scorer, trailing Tobias Harris by one point. The former didn't shoot particularly well from the field or from the free-throw line, but he still finished with his fourth straight performance of 20-plus points. The Sixers have been playing shorthanded, which has allowed Oubre to take on a bigger role offensively, as he's put up at least 17 shots in four straight contests. That volume may fall a bit once Tyrese Maxey (concussion) returns to action, which could happen as soon as the team's next game.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting lineup Oubre will start Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact With Nicolas Batum (foot) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out, Oubre will return to the starting lineup. Across 33 starts this season, Oubre has averaged 14.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.4 minutes per game.

Hits for 25 against Grizzlies Oubre totaled a team-high 25 points (7-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 34 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 115-109 loss to...

Impact The 28-year-old forward appears to be more comfortable in a lead role on Philly's second unit than he is starting. Oubre has topped 20 points in three straight games coming off the bench, averaging 25.3 points, 5.0 boards, 3.0 assists and 1,7 threes in 32.0 minutes a contest. With the shorthanded Sixers scrambling to replace Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) right now, don't expect Oubre's usage to change as long as he's productive.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Explodes for 30 points off bench Oubre finished Tuesday's 112-107 loss to the Nets with 30 points (11-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes.

Impact Oubre came off the bench Tuesday since the coaching staff decided to play Kyle Lowry and Cameron Payne in the backcourt, and that allowed Oubre to focus on what he does best -- scoring off the bench. Oubre is averaging 14.0 points per game as a starter and 13.3 points per game off the bench, so while there aren't any real differences, he averages close to five fewer minutes when deployed in a bench role. Don't be surprised if Oubre remains in that role going forward, as he seems to be slightly more effective when playing with the second unit.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fires away Oubre closed Sunday's 120-116 win over the Mavericks with 21 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 26 minutes.

Impact Oubre showed no lingering effects from the right shoulder soreness he was battling up until Sunday's contest, launching at least 15 shots for the 11th time this season. The 28-year-old's firepower can be important to Philadelphia's offense even when it comes inefficiently. That being said, his three-point stroke is failing him of late, with his season average dropping to a lowly 30.3 percent.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Sunday Oubre (shoulder) will play Sunday versus Dallas, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Oubre and KJ Martin (knee) have both been cleared for action Sunday. Oubre has averaged 20.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in six games against the Mavericks since 2020-21.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Oubre (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact Oubre was unable to play Friday, but he remains day-to-day. If he's forced to miss another contest, Kyle Lowry could potentially see another start. Lowry had 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists across 36 minutes during Friday's win over Charlotte.

Won't play Friday Oubre (shoulder) is out for Friday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Oubre has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to right shoulder soreness. Kyle Lowry will enter the starting lineup in his absence. Oubre's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with shoulder soreness Oubre is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets due to right shoulder soreness.

Impact Oubre wasn't listed on the Wizards' initial injury report, but he now joins KJ Martin (ankle) as questionable. If both forwards are ruled out, Nicolas Batum, Buddy Hield, Kyle Lowry and Mo Bamba would be candidates for increased roles.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting lineup Oubre is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics.

Impact Oubre will replace Nicolas Batum in the starting lineup Tuesday. Oubre is averaging 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.7 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.

Tobias Harris, Buddy Hield, and Kelly Oubre Jr. go cold in the Sixers' loss to the Bucks Harris, Hield, and Oubre combined to shoot an atrocious 12-of-39 from the floor, including 4-of-17 from beyond the arc.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • INQUIRER.COM

Back to bench Oubre won't start Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Oubre started Friday's win over Cleveland in place of Nicolas Batum, but the two forwards will swap places again Sunday. Batum is working his way back from a hamstring issue, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Oubre maintain a sizable role off the bench.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Oubre will start at small forward in Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers.

Impact After a one-game stint on the bench, Oubre will return to the starting lineup in favor of Nicolas Batum. The veteran wing has averaged 14.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 30.7 minutes in 31 starts this season.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 points off bench Oubre had 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 110-96 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Oubre came off the bench for the first time since Jan. 10. Still, the veteran forward has found ways to make an impact regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, especially now that the 76ers are without their best player, Joel Embiid, due to a severe knee injury. Oubre has been averaging 17.0 points and 5.1 rebounds per game since the beginning of February.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will come off the bench Thursday Oubre will return to the second unit for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Oubre takes a hit with the demotion to the second unit, but he should still be able to flirt with minutes in the mid-20s, so perhaps he can maintain some low-end value in deep leagues. Nicolas Batum will replace him in the first unit, but he's not the most attractive streamer on a busy, 12-game night.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Continues scoring Oubre ended with 19 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 118-102 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Oubre has launched at least 14 shots in six consecutive games, yielding 19.3 points and 5.2 rebounds on 44.8 percent shooting over that span. Oubre continuing this level of production moving forward is unlikely, but he is arguably Philadelphia third-most dynamic offensive contributor behind Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris, so his usage will rise during Joel Embiid's (knee surgery) indefinite absence.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect from line in defeat Oubre supplied 16 points (3-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 136-121 loss to the Nets.

Impact Oubre struggled from the field in Saturday's defeat but finished perfect from the line en route to ending as one of two 76ers starters in double figures in a losing effort. Oubre tallied a double-digit free throw total for the first time this year while notching his fourth straight contest with 15 or more points.
