KELLY OUBRE JR. NEWS

Back in starting lineup Oubre will start Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact With Robert Covington (illness) and Nicolas Batum (hamstring) ruled out, Oubre will make his first start since being hit by a car in mid-November. Across his previous five starts, Oubre has averaged 14.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes.

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.

Provides spark off bench in return Oubre had 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 131-126 win over the Wizards.

Impact Oubre missed his last 11 games after suffering a fractured rib in a car accident Nov. 11. He returned to action off the bench and led the reserves in scoring. Oubre was averaging 16.3 points and 5.1 rebounds over 29.0 minutes per game before his injury and will work his way back into the starting lineup.

Will operate as reserve Oubre (ribs) will come off the bench during Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, Lauren Rosen of the 76ers' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Oubre will return to action following an 11-game absence but will be under a minutes restriction and be used in short stints as he increases his conditioning level. 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.

76ers' Kelly Oubre Jr. scoffs at questions about legitimacy of his injury, calls hit-and-run serious

76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. is set to return to the lineup about a month after he said he was struck by a vehicle while walking near his home in Philadelphia

Will play Wednesday Oubre (ribs) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Oubre was a full participant at Monday's practice and walked away without any setbacks. It's likely that Oubre will have restrictions right out of the gate, but his return will provide a big lift to the 76ers on both ends of the court. In eight total appearances this season, Oubre averaged 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Set to practice Monday 76ers coach Nick Nurse said Oubre (ribs) will be a full participant in Monday's practice, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Oubre suffered a fractured rib in a car accident and will miss his 11th straight contest Friday. However, Oubre logging multiple practices at full participation is a good sign of his availability for Wednesday's matchup with Washington.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Targeting return next week Oubre (ribs) could return to action as soon as Wednesday against the Wizards, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Oubre sustained a fractured rib Nov. 11 when he was struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian, but he returned to practice Nov. 20 and was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He'll be forced to miss Friday's game against Boston but is targeting a return to action in the coming days. If the 27-year-old is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against Washington, it's certainly possible he's cleared for Friday's game against Atlanta. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see his workload monitored during his first few games back in action.

Ruled out Wednesday Oubre (ribs) will not play Wednesday against the Pelicans, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Oubre has been ramping up his participation in practice with the 76ers, and he will travel with the team to New Orleans. This means there is a chance we could see him return to action as soon as Friday against the Celtics. It's likely that he will have some restrictions early on when he gets the green light.

Making progress Coach Nick Nurse said Oubre (ribs) participated in Philadelphia's shootaround Monday and could return to practice Tuesday, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Oubre will miss a ninth straight game Monday, but it appears he could return to action soon. Following Monday's matchup, Philadelphia heads out on a two-game road trip, and Nurse said Oubre will potentially travel with the team, which would put him in line to suit up. Before the injury, Oubre was thriving during his first season with the 76ers, averaging 17.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 29.4 minutes over his first seven appearances (four starts).

Returns to practice Oubre (ribs) participated in the 76ers' practice session Monday, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Enquirer reports.

Impact Oubre recently resumed taking part in light work at the 76ers' practice facility, and the team was encouraged by the step he took Monday. He'll be closely evaluated by the team's medical staff Monday and Tuesday before he receives a better timetable to return to game action. While Oubre was initially expected to miss significant time after being struck by a car in mid-November, he's made relatively quick progress following the incident and could be ready to return to game action in weeks rather than months.

Impact The 76ers announced over the weekend that Oubre was diagnosed with a fractured rib in addition to multiple cuts and lacerations after the 27-year-old was struck by a car while crossing a street in Philadelphia this past Saturday. Oubre is scheduled to be re-evaluated this weekend or early next week, and if he continues to heal as expected, he could be cleared to intensify his on-court work. Wojnarowski suggests that the 76ers have some optimism that Oubre could be ready to play by late November or early December, which would be welcome news after the veteran forward's prognosis initially appeared to be much grimmer. Oubre opened the season as the 76ers' sixth man but had started in each of his last five appearances prior to his involvement in the accident, averaging 14.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per contest as a member of the starting five.
