KELLY OUBRE JR. NEWS

Anchors offense Oubre notched 25 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one block across 35 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 victory over the Suns.

Impact Oubre has been a vital presence in the 76ers' offense, and his 25 points marked a team-high Saturday. The 27-year-old has been an inconsistent provider of stats supplemental to scoring throughout his career and he has a track record of streaky production, so it's uncertain if he can sustain his hot start. Nonetheless, he's immediately slotted in as a prominent contributor despite his late-offseason addition to Philadelphia.

Lifts offense in starting lineup Oubre ended Thursday's 114-99 victory over Toronto with 23 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes.

Impact Oubre entered the starting lineup Thursday following the trade of James Harden and P.J. Tucker to the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing second on the team in scoring while leading all 76ers players in threes made while surpassing the 20-point mark. Oubre tallied his second game of 20 or more points in four appearances, posting his highest point total since notching a season-high 27 points in the season-opener Oct. 26 against Milwaukee. Oubre has also hauled in five or more rebounds in two of his four outings this year.

Starting against Toronto Oubre is in the starting lineup to face the Raptors on Thursday.

Impact This is not a surprising development, as head coach Nick Nurse said Oubre will take on a starting role in the short term earlier this week after James Harden and P.J. Tucker were traded to the Clippers. Oubre has been productive off the bench this season, averaging 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game over three appearances.

Set to start Head coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday that Oubre will take on a starting role in the short term, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact The 76ers recently acquired several frontcourt players as part of the trade that sent James Harden to the Clippers, but Philadelphia will elect to roll with Oubre as the fifth starter for now. Oubre has been productive off the bench this season, averaging 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game over three matchups. However, if he struggles at some point, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 76ers turn to any of their four new acquisitions -- Robert Covington, Marcus Morris, Nicolas Batum or Kenyon Martin -- as a starter at forward alongside Tobias Harris.

Continues to contribute off bench Oubre had 18 points (7-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 29 minutes in Saturday's 114-107 win over the Raptors.

Impact Oubre, who signed a one-year deal with the 76ers this offseason, built off his 27-point performance in the regular-season opener with yet another solid outing off the bench. He missed all six of his three-point shots on the night but was efficient from the line and led the reserves in scoring.

Excellent off bench despite loss Oubre ended with 27 points (9-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Oubre was outstanding in his Sixers debut, and despite the fact he came off the bench, he was highly efficient and finished as the team's second-best scorer. It would be a stretch to expect Oubre to score around 20 points per game, especially if he comes off the bench, but he should score enough to remain valuable across all fantasy formats. Due to his offensive-minded profile, he's going to get minutes and chances to make an impact as a scorer.

Moves back to bench Oubre isn't in the starting five for Friday's preseason game versus the Hawks, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact Oubre can make a huge impact as a scoring weapon regardless of his role, as he averaged a career-high 20.3 points per game with Charlotte during the 2022-23 season. Given the Sixers' depth, however, he's slated to open the season as the go-to scorer of the second unit, a role in which he's also flourished in the past.

Impact Oubre can make a huge impact as a scoring weapon regardless of his role. He averaged a career-high 20.3 points per game for an injury-depleted Charlotte squad last season.

Another absence on tap Friday Oubre (shoulder) will miss Friday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Oubre's absence is hardly a surprise for a club that is resting the majority of its rotation regulars down the stretch. Friday's absence marks Oubre's seventh straight, and it seems unlikely he will return for Sunday's regular-season finale in Cleveland.

The Hornets are holding out several other veterans Tuesday, including Gordon Hayward (thumb), Terry Rozier (foot) and P.J. Washington (foot).
