Oubre isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Magic.
Paul George will replace Oubre in the starting five Friday. Oubre will come off the bench for the first time this season and is averaging 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 31.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Oubre supplied 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Clippers.
Oubre has started in every game this season, which is encouraging considering Paul George's addition to the team. He switched from the wing to the off-guard position during Wednesday's game, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up once the team gets Joel Embiid (suspension) back. George may no longer be necessary at the four, but with Caleb Martin as the wildcard getting quality minutes, Oubre's future with the first unit appears safe.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Fouls out in loss
Rotowire
Oubre had 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist over 32 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 118-116 loss to Phoenix.
Oubre tallied a season low in points before being disqualified from the game. However, the 28-year-old did tie his season high in steals. Oubre has struggled to find his shot this season, during which he has shot 40.2 percent from the field and 29.7 percent from beyond the arc.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Nears double-double in win
Rotowire
Oubre provided 14 points (6-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 overtime win over Indiana.
Oubre contributed his worst game of the season, though he still nearly secured a double-double. The 28-year-old struggled from outside Sunday, but he has still generated a fairly efficient start to the season thus far. Through three regular-season appearances, Oubre has two games with 20-plus points, and he has also played at least 30 minutes in each game thus far.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Leads Philly in scoring Friday
Rotowire
Oubre provided 28 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 115-107 loss to the Raptors.
Oubre has been the biggest beneficiary of the absences of Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee), as he's opened the season as the No. 2 option on offense. The veteran forward has performed as such, scoring over 20 points in both contests and shooting 17-for-35 from the field combined. Oubre should continue to experience an uptick in his fantasy upside for as long as George and Embiid remain out.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Goes for 21 points in loss
Rotowire
Oubre ended with 21 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to Milwaukee.
Oubre moved to small forward with Paul George (knee) out and made the most of the opportunity, reaching the 20-point plateau despite struggling a bit with his shot and overall efficiency. Oubre figures to be a regular for the 76ers all season long, even when the Sixers will be at full strength, but he should see more touches -- and thus, have considerably more upside in fantasy -- as long as George and Joel Embiid (knee) remain sidelined.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Leads Phiiladelphia in scoring
Rotowire
Oubre posted 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason win over the Nets.
Oubre led the way offensively for a 76ers team missing Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee). Even though he figures to see a minor role on offense when the team is at full strength, he can step up and embrace a more significant role whenever one of the stars is missing, which might be often considering Embiid's potential resting schedule and injury history, as well as George's own injury concerns. Oubre featured in 68 regular-season games (52 starts) for the 76ers last year and averaged 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals over 30.2 minutes per game.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Struggles from deep vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Oubre logged 14 points (4-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes in Monday's 104-89 preseason win over the Hawks.
Despite missing seven of eight three-point attempts Monday, Oubre co-led with Tyrese Maxey in scoring and the former played a game-high 27 minutes. Paul George didn't return for the second half of Monday's contest after injuring his left knee, and Oubre would be the beneficiary in regards to more opportunities on the offensive end of the floor if George were to be sidelined for the early portion of the 2024-25 regular season. Oubre appeared in 68 regular-season games (52 starts) for the 76ers last year and averaged 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals over 30.2 minutes per game.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Back in action
Rotowire
Oubre (rest) will start in Monday's preseason game against the Hawks.
Oubre, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George are all back in action after resting during Saturday's matchup against the Celtics, which was the second night of a back-to-back set. Oubre's versatility should allow him to stick in the starting lineup throughout the regular season.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Oubre (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Celtics.
The Sixers are resting most of their veterans in this contest, meaning Oubre is one of several regulars who won't be seeing the court. The Sixers have three more games in their preseason schedule before their regular-season opener against the Bucks on Oct. 23.
Oubre and the 76ers agreed to a two-year, $16.3 million contract Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Oubre's deal includes a player option for the 2025-26 season but will keep him in Philadelphia for at least one more year. The 28-year-old made 68 regular-season appearances for the 76ers last year, averaging 15.4 points and 5.0 rebounds in 30.2 minutes per game. He'll likely see less usage during the 2024-25 campaign after the 76ers agreed to terms with Paul George on Monday. However, Oubre will remain an asset in Philadelphia due to his solid scoring and rebounding abilities.
Oubre notched 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 overtime win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Oubre played through an illness Tuesday night but managed to have a positive impact on both ends of the court. Through five games in this series, Oubre holds averages of 12.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 blocks, 2.0 steals and 1.2 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Oubre (illness) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Oubre has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with an illness. However, it is possible that the 27-year-old forward sees reduced playing time compared to his 40 minutes in Game 4.
