Oubre is expected to miss at least two weeks due to a left elbow sprain, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Oubre missed nearly two months with a knee sprain earlier this season, and he's now set for his second extended absence of the year. Given the timeline for his return, the swingman could realistically be sidelined until April. With the 76ers riddled with injuries, Trendon Watford, Tyrese Martin and Justin Edwards could all compete for Oubre's vacated starting position.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Double-doubles vs. Memphis
Rotowire
Oubre tallied 31 points (10-24 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during the 76ers' 139-129 win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Oubre struggled from beyond the arc, but that was about the only blemish to his game as he and Cameron Payne (32 points) propelled the 76ers to a come-from-behind victory. It was the first time this season that Oubre made 10 free throws in a game, and he set a season high in both points and rebounds en route to his fourth double-double of the season. The veteran wing will have more offensive responsibilities on his shoulders for at least the next three weeks due to the absence of Tyrese Maxey (finger).

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Notches 17 points in loss
Rotowire
Oubre chipped in 17 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 117-107 loss to the Hawks.
Oubre saw a ton of usage for the 76ers with Joel Embiid (knee, shin) sidelined, but he couldn't find his rhythm from the field. Based on his workload and shot touches alone, he'll have obvious streaming appeal in the short term.

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.
