KELLY OUBRE JR. NEWS

Shines on defense against Jazz Oubre produced 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 127-124 win over the Jazz.

Impact The five combined steals and blocks were a season high for Oubre, who scored at least 15 points for the fourth straight game. With Joe Embiid (knee) banged up and a number of other Sixers also injured, Oubre has seen his usage skyrocket -- over those four contests, he's averaging 36.5 minutes and 16.3 field-goal attempts, resulting in 20.3 points, 5.3 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.0 threes and 0.8 steals.

Leads team in short-handed effort Oubre chipped in 25 points (11-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Monday's 130-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although Oubre registered a goose-egg beyond the arc, he heaved up a season-high 20 shot attempts and managed to shoot over 50 percent elsewhere on the floor. It was Oubre's second consecutive 25-point effort, and as long as De'Anthony Melton (back) remains sidelined, Oubre's solid production will continue.

Moves into starting lineup Oubre will start Monday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Oubre has been cleared to return following a one-game absence, and with De'Anthony Melton (back) sidelined, he'll slide into the starting lineup. Melton is expected to miss at least a week, so Oubre should string together a few looks with the first unit this week. As a starter (14 games), Oubre has averaged 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.7 minutes per game.

Not on injury report Oubre (toe) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Houston.

Impact Oubre was a late scratch for Friday's game against the Kings due to a right toe injury, but he fully participated in Sunday's practice session and has been cleared to return to game action. De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Oubre handle a starting role. Over his last nine starts, Oubre has averaged 13.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game.

Impact The 76ers have yet to issue an injury report for Monday's game against the Rockets, but based on the extent of his involvement in Sunday's practice, Oubre looks set to return to action as Philadelphia kicks off a four-game week. While Oubre was sidelined for Friday's 112-93 win over the Kings with a sore right big toe, Patrick Beverley (27 minutes) benefited from the biggest boost in playing time among the 76ers' reserves.

Late scratch Oubre has been ruled out for Friday's game against Sacramento due to right big toe soreness, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Strong from deep in 25-point game Oubre posted 25 points (9-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes in Monday's 119-113 loss to Miami.

Impact Oubre led all players in Monday's Christmas Day showdown in threes made while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing as one of two 76ers with 25 or more points in a losing effort. Oubre has posted at least 25 points in three games this season, connecting on five or more threes for the third time.

Contributes in return as starter Oubre had seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-113 victory over Minnesota.

Solid off bench Wednesday Oubre recorded 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 23 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 129-111 victory over Detroit.

Impact It's the 28-year-old forward's best effort in four games since his return to the lineup after recovering from fractured ribs. Oubre had just moved into the starting lineup back in November prior to being struck by a car, and with Nicolas Batum doing little since joining the Sixers, it's possible he'll regain that assignment once he's fully back up to speed.

Before the injury, Oubre was off to a fast start in 2023-24, averaging 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.
