KELLY OUBRE JR. NEWS

Scores inefficient 18 points in win Oubre amassed 18 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 38 minutes during Saturday's 120-113 overtime win over the Warriors.

Impact Oubre scored in double digits for the sixth straight game, cashing in on what has been a nice path to minutes to begin the season. Unfortunately, he has now shot under 40 percent in three consecutive outings, significantly impacting his overall appeal. He does remain a must-roster player in 12-team leagues, but as soon as the Hornets start getting their guys back on the floor, he could see his playing time take a bit of a hit.

Double-double in win Oubre ended with 24 points (9-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 126-109 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Oubre could not buy a bucket over the first quarter and a half Sunday, missing his first seven attempts. He turned things around quickly and made eight of his next nine tries as he eclipsed 20 points for the first time all year. The 26-year-old has gotten off to a nice start this year and is averaging 17.3 points and 6.0 rebounds while making 46.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and 40.0 percent of his tries from beyond the arc.

Turns in average showing Oubre contributed 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 124-112 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Oubre knocked down a pair of triples and also showed up defensively, nabbing a pair of steals. He's totaled five steals over his first two games of the new season and looks to pick up right where he left off a season ago, averaging 1.0 steal over 76 games.

Starting in opener Oubre will start Wednesday's season opener against the Spurs, Rob Longo, the Hornets Radio Network manager reports.

Impact With LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined and Terry Rozier starting at point guard, Oubre will get the nod at shooting guard. With Miles Bridges out of the picture, Oubre projects to have both short and long-term fantasy value. In 13 starts last season, he averaged 16.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.4 minutes.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball unlikely to play in season opener

Set to start Wednesday Oubre will start in Wednesday's preseason game versus Philadelphia.

Impact Oubre recently dealt with a calf injury and will have a minutes restriction Wednesday but will get the start. With Oubre playing Wednesday, it's a very good sign that he will be good to go for the team's regular-season opener against the Spurs on Oct. 19.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will 'try to play' Wednesday Oubre (calf) will "try to play some" with a minutes restriction for Wednesday's preseason game against the 76ers, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He will start.

Impact Charlotte will let Oubre test his ankle in the final exhibition before Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Spurs. He's taken on plenty of usage in preseason, averaging 23.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per 36 minutes in his three appearances. He figures to benefit from the absence of LaMelo Ball (ankle) to begin the year.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to questionable Oubre (calf) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Wednesday's preseason finale against the 76ers.

Impact Oubre didn't play in Monday's preseason game due to a calf issue and was initially listed as doubtful for Wednesday. However, it now appears he may get some run in during the Hornets' final exhibition before the regular season, which starts Oct. 19 against the Spurs.

Unlikely for preseason finale Oubre (calf) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's preseason finale versus the 76ers.

Impact Oubre was one of multiple Hornets ruled out for Monday's preseason game, and it appears he will likely skip the preseason finale too. He's reportedly dealing with a strained calf, so it will be worth monitoring his status as the regular season approaches Oct. 19 versus the Spurs.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Oubre (calf) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Wizards.

Impact As expected, Oubre, who was listed as doubtful, won't play in the Hornets' second-to-last preseason game. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but he has just over a week to clear the issue before the Hornets open the regular season against the Spurs on Oct. 19.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with calf strain Oubre is doubtful for Monday's preseason game against the Wizards due to a left calf strain.

Impact The extent and severity of Oubre's calf issue remains unclear, but after Monday's game, he'll only have one more opportunity to play in the preseason before the Hornets open the regular season against the Spurs on Oct. 19. While Oubre is unlikely to play, Charlotte is expected to have Gordon Hayward (knee) available Monday for the first time during the preseason.

Scores team-high 17 points Oubre recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three steals across 21 minutes in Sunday's 134-93 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Oubre got the start with Gordon Hayward (knee) sidelined, and while it's hard to read too much into one preseason game, he played a prominent role on offense and led the team in scoring despite the fact Charlotte lost by 41 points. A proven scorer, Oubre might open up the season as the starting small forward if Hayward can't recover in time for opening night. Still, even in a worst-case scenario, he will operate as Charlotte's sixth man and main scoring threat off the bench.

Leads bench in scoring Oubre notched 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Thursday's 128-101 victory over the Magic.

Impact Oubre cooked an underwhelming second unit for the tanking Magic, finishing with a plus-41 in the box score. At one point, he was a (distant) second to Tyler Herro in a race for the Sixth Man of the Year Award, but Oubre's production has fallen off considerably down the stretch. He's averaged 10.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 17 games since the beginning of March. Oubre will look to carry Thursday's momentum into Friday's contest against the Bulls.

APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Poor production continues in loss Oubre had two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 119-110 victory over the Nets.

Impact Oubre bottomed out in the win, amassing a mere two points as his role continues to dwindle. He has now scored few than seven points in five of his past six games, logging more than 20 minutes just once in that span. It has been a rapid decline for Oubre, and at this point he can be safely dropped in most competitive formats.
