76ers' Kelly Oubre: Just misses double-double Monday
Rotowire
Oubre produced 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Monday's 121-108 victory over Charlotte.
The veteran wing continues to impress on the glass, falling one board short of his fourth straight double-double. Oubre's 19 points were also his highest total since he moved back into the starting five Nov. 22, and during that 10-game span, he's averaging 13.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.5 threes and 0.8 blocks while shooting 52.0 percent from the floor. With breakout rookie Jared McCain (knee) sidelined indefinitely pending surgery, Oubre's role seems secure.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Logs third straight double-double
Rotowire
Oubre recorded 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 13 rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 121-107 loss to Indiana.
While it wasn't the most efficient outing scoring-wise, Friday marked Oubre's third straight game with a double-double, and he led the 76ers with 13 rebounds. Oubre has started nine consecutive contests for Philadelphia, a span in which he's averaging a solid 12.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers per game. As long as Oubre sticks with the first unit, he should remain a strong source of steals for fantasy managers with the uptick in playing time.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Injures arm in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Oubre checked out of Sunday's 108-100 win over the Bulls with 20.4 seconds remaining after appearing to injure his left arm, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. He finished with 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block across 38 minutes.
The forward posted his second consecutive double-double in an efficient outing, but he appeared to injure his left arm following a collision with Lonzo Ball. Oubre grabbed at his arm and appeared to be in a significant amount of pain, though he will have until Friday's game against the Pacers to potentially move past the injury.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Hands out season-high five assists
Rotowire
Oubre posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Orlando.
Oubre's five assists marked a season-high figure Wednesday, and it was also his second straight game sinking four three-pointers. The veteran swingman has now reached double digits in scoring in each of his last six outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 12.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 32.8 minutes per game. Paul George (rest) should be back in Philadelphia's lineup for Friday's rematch with Orlando after missing Wednesday's meeting, but the 76ers could still need Oubre to function as a starter until Joel Embiid (knee) is cleared to return to action.

Oubre got the starting nod Friday in place of the injured Paul George (knee), and he was effective on both ends of the floor for Philadelphia while concluding as one of six 76ers in double figures in scoring and ending one rebound shy of a double-double. Oubre, who also added a pair of blocks and steals on the defensive end of the court, set a new season high in rebounds and has now reached double figures in scoring in nine outings.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Fouls out in loss

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: 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.
