Goes for 21 points in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Leads Phiiladelphia in scoring 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.

Impact 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 if 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.

Struggles from deep vs. Atlanta 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.

Impact 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.

Back in action Oubre (rest) will start in Monday's preseason against the Hawks.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Oubre (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Celtics.

Impact 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.

Set to remain in Philadelphia Oubre and the 76ers agreed to a two-year, $16.3 million contract Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact 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 and averaged 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, but Oubre will continue to be an asset in Philadelphia due to his solid scoring and rebounding abilities.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Near double-double Friday 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.

Impact 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.

Hits for 26 in 2OT win Oubre closed with 26 points (12-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 48 minutes during Sunday's 133-126 double-overtime win over the Spurs.

Impact 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.
