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.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Set to remain in Philadelphia
Rotowire
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 (illness) is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Strong from deep in Game 4 defeat
Rotowire
Oubre ended Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.
Oubre had another strong offensive outing for Philadelphia in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending one point shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. Oubre has been a nice third option for the 76ers in the first-round series behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, tallying at least 15 points in two of the four games and surpassing the double-digit mark in three outings.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Does little in loss
Rotowire
Oubre logged four points (2-7 FG), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 26 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Oubre's unproductive evening marked his second consecutive subpar performance in the quarterfinals. He joined a mediocre group of starters who scored only 22 points compared to the 69 points accrued by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Improved stat lines from Oubre will be necessary for the Sixers to even the series at home.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Near double-double Friday
Rotowire
Oubre racked up 21 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 125-113 win over the Magic.
Oubre was one rebound short of registering his fifth double-double of the season Friday. Oubre has scored 20-plus points in two of his last three games and has reached double-digit scoring in seven straight games. After signing a one-year, $2.89 million contract with the 76ers in September, Oubre has played a key role for the team this season and has likely earned a larger contract for next year.

With Joel Embiid (knee), Tobias Harris (knee) and a handful of other 76ers sidelined, Oubre stepped up on offense once again, scoring at least 25 points for the third time in the last five games. Since moving into the starting lineup March 8, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 18.6 points, 6.4 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16 contests.

Oubre continued his recent hot stretch for Philadelphia by ending two points shy of the 20-point mark and coming up two rebounds shy of a double-double in a balanced outing in Thursday's victory. Oubre, who also swiped a team-high-tying pair of steals, has provided a nice lift offensively as of late, tallying at least 18 points and six rebounds in three straight contests.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Double-double in tough loss
Rotowire
Oubre ended with 17 points (6-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Clippers.
The 28-year-old forward very nearly played hero, but his layup attempt at the buzzer was blocked by Kawhi Leonard -- although the refs acknowledged after the game that Oubre was fouled on the play and should have gone to the line with a chance to win it. The double-double was his fourth of the season, with three of them coming since he rejoined the Sixers' starting five Mar. 8. Over his last 10 games, Oubre has averaged 17.6 points, 6.5 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks despite shooting 39.8 percent from the floor and 26.5 percent from beyond the arc.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Questionable to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Oubre (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers.
Oubre is at risk of missing a second consecutive game due to left shoulder soreness. Buddy Hield and Kyle Lowry have been leaned on for 30-plus minute workloads when Oubre has been unavailable in the past, while Ricky Council and KJ Martin typically assume small rotational duties.
