Rotowire
Oubre is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness and left knee injury recovery.
The 76ers didn't include Oubre on their initial injury report, but the veteran wing may have felt under the weather upon waking up. Oubre remains likely to play, with official word on his status set to arrive shortly before Wednesday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Since returning to action Jan. 7 following a 22-game absence, Oubre has averaged 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes per contest in four appearances.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Production falls off in win
Rotowire
Oubre ended with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds over 30 minutes during Monday's 115-102 victory over Toronto.
Oubre was unable to replicate his production from the previous night, failing to have a major impact despite the win. As long as the 76ers are relatively healthy, Oubre is likely to serve as the fourth or even fifth option on the offensive end. Managers should not view him as a must-roster player.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Not starting Monday
Rotowire
Oubre won't start against the Raptors on Monday.
With Paul George back in the lineup following a one-game absence due to left knee soreness, Oubre will slide to the second unit. The 30-year-old forward has appeared in three outings (one start) following a 22-game absence due to a left knee sprain. During that span, he has averaged 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.3 blocks in 23.0 minutes per tilt.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Showcases defense in late start
Rotowire
Oubre logged 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four steals and three blocks over 34 minutes during the 76ers' 116-115 overtime loss to the Raptors on Sunday.
Oubre was thrust into the 76ers' starting lineup minutes before the 6:00 p.m. ET tipoff after Paul George was scratched late due to a knee injury. While Tyrese Maxey (38 points) handled things offensively, Oubre stepped up in a big way on the defensive side of the floor, finishing with season highs in both steals and blocks. Oubre could remain in the starting lineup in Monday's rematch against Toronto if George is not cleared to return.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Oubre is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Raptors.
Paul George (knee) was initially listed in the starting lineup, but he was suddenly ruled out minutes before tipoff with Oubre being announced as his replacement. Oubre has been quiet since returning from a knee injury that forced him to spend nearly two months on the sidelines, but he'll have some time to shine as a starter Sunday. Joining him in the first unit will be Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Tepid production in return
Rotowire
Oubre (knee) registered two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one assist across 20 minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 131-110 win over the Wizards.
Oubre had started in each of the 76ers' first 12 games of the season, but after missing 22 consecutive contests due to a left knee sprain before gaining clearance to play Wednesday, the veteran wing came off the bench and operated with a heavy minutes restriction. After averaging 16.8 points per game prior to getting hurt, Oubre took on a much more muted role on offense in his return, handling a season-low 8.8 percent usage rate. Oubre could still see his minutes and usage pick up a bit in future contests, but he'll likely struggle to return to his pre-injury level of production now that Paul George has been back to full health for a while now after he had been sidelined for the first 12 games of the season.

Oubre, though available, will be under a heavy minutes restriction. The veteran wing hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 14. He started in each of his first 14 appearances this season, but he may come off the bench as the 76ers ease him back into action.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Oubre (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Oubre, who hasn't played since mid-November, is on track to return for Wednesday's game. Per Austin Krell of OnPattison.com, Oubre will be under a heavy minutes restriction if available. Still, he was playing very well before going down, so make sure he's not floating around on your waiver wire. Oubre's return will likely result in fewer minutes for Quentin Grimes.

Rotowire
Oubre (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Oubre hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a sprained LCL in his left knee, though he has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday. If the veteran forward is cleared to play, he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction. Oubre has appeared in 12 regular-season games thus far, averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 34.8 minutes per tilt.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Ruled out for Monday
Rotowire
Oubre (knee) won't play Monday versus the Nuggets.
Oubre was recently cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 work, which is often the last step in the rehab process. While Oubre won't play Monday, he does appear to be close, so perhaps he'll be able to get back out there for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Cleared for 5-on-5 work
Rotowire
Oubre (knee) has been cleared to return to 5-on-5 work in practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Oubre hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a sprained LCL in his left knee, though he's seemingly getting close to a return to game action. His next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Nuggets. The veteran swingman has appeared in 12 regular-season games thus far, averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 34.8 minutes per tilt. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction whenever he's cleared to return.

Rotowire
Oubre is out for Friday's game against New York due to a sprained left knee.
Oubre progressed to on-court work as of Wednesday, per Ky Carlin of USA Today, but a return to game action isn't in order quite yet for the veteran forward.
