Philadelphia is coming off a dismal season that saw the franchise heavily struggle with injuries. While the uncertainty behind Joel Embiid and Paul George’s health status will always be a concern, there is some room for optimism. Jared McCain will be returning after an encouraging rookie season, and the Sixers have added some much-needed new players from the 2025 NBA Draft. That includes <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-vj-edgecombe-emotional-draft-reaction-no-electricity-revelation">No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe</a>.</p><p>While the former Baylor standout has the talent to start right away on the 76ers, the franchise is getting some great news on a key role player. ESPN Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1939365488057827690" rel="noopener">broke the news</a> on Oubre Jr.</p><p>“Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is picking up his $8.4 million player option for next season to return to the team, sources tell ESPN.”</p><p>The 29-year-old has been a productive starter for Nick Nurse’s team over the past two years. Last season, Oubre Jr. averaged 15.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. The former Kansas standout consistently picked up the top defensive assignments throughout the year and added key wing depth to a 76ers’ roster that desperately needed it. Kelly’s return significantly helps Philadelphia’s quest for a bounce-back season, and there’s a legitimate chance that this could happen.</p><p>The Eastern Conference, on paper, feels more open at the top than it’s been in years past. The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers are both injury-ridden, with the former undergoing significant roster changes. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have yet to exorcise their most recent playoff demons, while the New York Knicks are still in the process of finding a new head coach. There are other threats in the conference as well, like the revamped Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, and Atlanta Hawks, but Philadelphia has the chance to be relevant again in the East.</p><p>Overall, this was a selfless act by Oubre Jr., who surely believes in this roster’s ability to compete right now. Oubre Jr., Embiid, George, Maxey, Edgecombe, and McCain give Philadelphia a solid six-man core to build around for this upcoming season. While the 76ers do not have much room to sign any impactful free agents, their expectations remain unchanged. This group is supposed to be a legitimate Eastern Conference contender, and with the way the East is shaping up, it’s now or never.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I’m blessed to be a part of this organization,” Oubre declared. He said he’s taking his decision “day by day, but also, you know, this is a business. At the end of the day, I’m happy and I feel like I like to finish what I start and I don’t feel complete. So, you know, godspeed.” </p><p>Oubre’s player option is worth $8.3 million. The 29-year-old wing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/sixers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-reveals-why-he-feels-like-hes-finally-in-the-nba-now">has always been grateful to the 76ers organization</a>, which signed him to a minimum contract when no other team wanted him. Even if he opts out, he’ll surely be angling for a return to Philly on a longer deal.</p><h2><b>Kelly Oubre Jr. hints at staying with 76ers in 2025 offseason </b></h2><p>Oubre was thrust into a bigger role this season with the injuries to stars, putting his per-game averages at 15.1 points, a career-best 1.8 assists and a career-best 1.5 steals. However, his 29.3 percent shooting from deep was the second-worst percentage of his career. Shooting is one area of the game he said he plans to work on this offseason.</p><p>The 76ers want Oubre to be a part of the team moving forward and hope he can play a complementary role around Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George. Oubre <a href="https://x.com/BySamDiGiovanni/status/1911461919585599643" rel="noopener">hopes next season will prove to be more fruitful</a>.</p><p>“I’m bringing the swag back and all I know is that I’ll come back better than I was this year,” Oubre said. “I’m going into year 11 in my career, so it’s a blessing. Blessed to still be here but at the end of the day, man, I’m not satisfied with the way I’m perceived by you guys [and] fans for what I do bring to the NBA. So, Tsunami’s back.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His dominant performance wasn’t enough to lift the Sixers ahead of the New York Knicks but he played a big part in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-paul-george-reveals-thought-process-pausing-podcast-p">one of the team’s most promising recent performances</a>.</p><p>Oubre ended the 110-105 defeat with 27 points, five rebounds and three steals on a red-hot 9-14 shooting, including 19 in the first half. Always one to play confidently and energetically, he lit the Knicks up — and he wasn’t afraid to say so.</p><p>“I just didn’t feel like anybody could guard me out there, respectfully,” he said after the game. “At the end of the day, man, just being aggressive, attacking. I’m gonna play defense as hard as I possibly can but when I can put that force on the offensive end as well, I think that that’s who I am as a basketball player: a two-way player.</p><p>“I was just trying to show that and especially [because] I was in The Garden,” Oubre continued. “I was trying to put on a show for the fans and also just help my team win.”</p><p>Before the game, Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau called Oubre <a href="https://x.com/BySamDiGiovanni/status/1894877650407002158" rel="noopener">one of the most underrated players in the NBA</a>. He backed it up in a major way.</p><h2><b>Kelly Oubre Jr. posts dominant performance in 76ers’ loss to Knicks</b></h2><p>Although Tyrese Maxey and Paul George rebounded to take care of things from there, leading a strong comeback effort in the second half after they both played poorly to begin the game, Oubre playing so well in the first half made it a game. If not for him, New York would have run away with a resounding win and not needed to sweat it out down the stretch.</p><p>Madison Square Garden gave Oubre and the 76ers lots of motivation. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/76ers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-thrilled-to-face-knicks-super-fun-madison-square-garden">Oubre spoke previously about his love for MSG</a> and went out and showed it in Philly’s near-comeback.</p><p>“That was one of those things where it kind of boosted us to make sure that we have fun,” he said. “We go out there and we try to put on a show, which I think collectively as a unit we did. There were possessions where we’re not perfect but at the end of the day, man, we still had the next-play mindset and we just got out and ran and everybody touched [the ball] and we have fun together.”</p><p>As the Sixers try to climb out of the 20-38 hole they’ve dug themselves, they’re going to hope Oubre can keep producing at a high level.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They lost to the Detroit Pistons, 125-112, in an embarrassing effort that saw them go down by as many as 34 points despite the absence of Detroit star Cade Cunningham.

Arguments between teammates, even heated ones, are not uncommon. However, for such poor effort to even happen is a massive indictment on a team that touts itself as a championship hopeful.</p><h2><b>Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr. argue during 76ers’ loss to Pistons</b></h2><p>“I think it had to do with getting back in transition, right? I think we weren’t playing well. We’re fighting our way back into the game and we’d taken away most of those transition plays, and there was an exchange,” Nick Nurse told reporters after the game. “But I think it happens once in a while. Like you said, at least they got on the same page when it was over with.”</p><p>Although Embiid had reason to be frustrated with Oubre’s abysmal effort on the play, he didn’t show great effort himself for much of the game. He was horrible in every way imaginable in the first half, personifying the shocking lack of energy the 76ers brought to the beginning of the game.</p><p>Embiid scored 20 points in the third quarter, getting the Sixers as close as 14 points, but it was too little, too late. For him to come out and play with such low energy and then try to make an example out of Oubre, who has missed only three games all season, was a horrible look. Embiid’s many injuries from this season (let alone his career) should inspire him to come out with loads of energy every single game he can get. This contest against the Pistons was the perfect example of what he cannot do.</p><p>Hours before the game, 76ers president of basketball operations <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-daryl-morey-reinforces-championship-belief-despite-early-season-struggles" rel="noopener">Daryl Morey said he believes his team still has championship potential</a>. He reiterated his belief that Embiid is an elite payer who can lead his team to a title. Morey was left completely out to dry, though his primary trade-deadline addition, Quentin Grimes, looked good in his team debut.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 76ers lost to the very short-handed New Orleans Pelicans, 123-115. But if they want to find anything positive about the game, it was the thunderous dunk that Kelly Oubre Jr. threw down over Yves Missi.</p><p>There may have been cause for concern from the 76ers though as Kelly Oubre took a hard fall after his dunk over Yves Missi. But there was no word after the game in terms of any potential injury. And after the initial play, Oubre even grinned a bit as he got up from the fall. It appears as if the 76ers avoided a potential catastrophe.</p><p>But the 76ers still should be concerned about their play on the court.</p><p>Kelly Oubre did his part in terms of trying to get the 76ers the win. He finished with 21 points, seven rebounds, one assist and two steals. He shot 7-of-18 from the field, 2-of-5 from the three-point line and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line.</p><p>This season, Oubre has appeared in 32 games for the 76ers, including 29 starts, at a little over 32 minutes per game. He’s been averaging 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals with splits of 45.9 percent shooting from the field, 28.1 percent shooting from the three-point line and 72.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Oubre is in his second season with the 76ers after joining the team during the 2023 offseason when he signed a one-year contract. When he hit free agency this past offseason, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-16-3-million-contract-free-agency">Oubre re-signed with the 76ers</a> on a two-year contract worth a little over $16 million. He has the option to re-enter free agency this coming offseason as he has a player option for the 2025-26 season.</p><p>The 76ers are currently 15-21 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings. They are 6-4 in their last ten games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Well, that <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1873965220101849096" rel="noopener">would be no other than Robert Covington</a>, who was putting up that kind of producton back in 2015, right when Philadelphia was getting ready to turn the corner out of The Process.</p><p>Oubre was active all over the court for his 37 minutes of action in a 125-103 victory, helping to amass 91 points in the first three quarters before allowing Nick Nurse to clear his bench and give two-way guys like Pete Nance a chance to show what they can do on an NBA court.</p><p>Was Oubre perfect? No, he missed all three of his shots from beyond the arc and finished out the game with 6-10 shooting from the field, but he made all three of his field goal attempts and finished out the game with 15 points, which ranked fourth on the team behind Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Guerschon Yabusele.</p><p>With Paul George continuing to struggle from beyond the arc and the field combined, scoring just nine points in 23 minutes to go with his six rebounds, four assists, a steal, four turnovers, and five personal fouls, getting a huge defensive game from Oubre is fantastic, especially if this can be the start of a new trend.</p><p>With the 2025 NBA trade deadline rapidly approaching, Oubre is one of the more interesting players on the 76ers’ roster heading into February. The team prioritized him enough to sign him to a new contract over the summer, but they gave him a number that, when packaged with players like KJ Martin and/or Caleb Williams, could bring back a really good, high-profile player. If the 76ers want to bring back a player like Keon Ellis, who costs just over $2 million, then yeah, the path is simple, but if they instead have their eyes on a player who costs more than $5 million, Oubre may be part of the asking price another team brings to the table. If that happens, will Philadelphia’s front office brass of Daryl Morey, Elton Brand, and company say yes? Or no? That, folks, is one of the more interesting questions of the 76ers’ 2024-25 season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Including Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets, the 76ers’ ‘Big 3’ has suited up in only four games together. But with all three playing, the 76ers got a big win. Following the game, Kelly Oubre Jr. <a href="https://x.com/sixers/status/1870301791016964472" rel="noopener">spoke about the camaraderie</a> in the 76ers locker room, as per the team.</p><p>“Just keep the same energy. It’s a great vibe right now in the locker room within the guys,” Oubre said. “Jo [Embiid] is fighting through a lot, and we see that. It’s up to us to have his back always, and just continue to just take steps in the right direction, which we are doing.”</p><p>Kelly Oubre has a point as the 76ers have now won six of their last ten games and two in a row. They are currently 9-16 and in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings, but they are trending in the right direction. Oubre, who is a key role player for the team, finished with 22 points, five rebounds and two assists. He shot 8-of-10 from the field and 4-0f-6 from the three-point line.</p><p>Oubre explained how a lot of the shots he got were simply from playing off the defensive attention that Embiid draws. It was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-is-joel-embiid-playing-vs-hornets-latest-injury-update-sinus-fracture">Embiid’s first game back after suffereing a sinus injury</a> over the weekend.</p><p>“A great synergy. He creates so much attention on the offensive end,” Oubre said. “All of us have to be ready to capitalize on it. It was wide-open, so we got to hit it. We did tonight and we got to keep it going.”</p><p>It’s obviously not too late for the 76ers to mount a comeback as there is still a lot of season left to be played. When the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-philly-makes-paul-george-splash-free-agency">76ers added Paul George in free agency</a>, the prevailing thought was they were going to be a contender in the East. Health is going to be the key factor.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He proved he could be a part of a winning team after spending several years posting numbers on losing squads. 76ers of basketball operations Daryl Morey called him a <a href="https://x.com/BySamDiGiovanni/status/1787534164264104391" rel="noopener">“breath of fresh air”</a> and, based on the timing of Oubre’s dea, made it a priority to bring him back.</p><p>“Kelly was one of our most important contributors last season, bringing physicality, energy, and toughness to the table on a nightly basis,” Morey said in the announcement of Oubre’s new contract. “We’re excited to have him back and believe he’ll play a key role in our pursuit of a championship.”</p><p>Oubre said it usually takes two or three years to become comfortable on a team. But with the Sixers, he felt at home in less than a full season. Despite some bumps in the road along the way, none bigger than he was hit by a car and missed nearly a month, Oubre quickly became <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-reveals-why-he-feels-like-hes-finally-in-the-nba-now">enamored with the organization</a> that allowed him to bet on himself.</p><p>Although his new two-year, $16 million deal isn’t groundbreaking, it’s a massive step up from the minimum deal he took last September. Knowing so early in the offseason where he’ll be playing puts his mind at ease.</p><p>“Well, there were definitely options on the table,” Oubre said of his 2024 free agency, “and options that are closer to the ballpark of where I’ve been working towards getting to. But at the end of the day, man, it’s all about situations. It’s all about fit. It’s about the people that I’m working with and I’m working for.”</p><p>The 76ers asked a lot of Oubre last season. He was one of their primary defenders and often had to be the third source of scoring depending on how well Tobias Harris was playing on any particular night. Now with Paul George and Caleb Martin, the Sixers’ dependence on Oubre can be more fitting for a typical role player.</p><p>Oubre pointed to Martin as someone he’s excited to team up with. He called himself “a triplet” with Caleb and his twin brother Cody, who he played with on the Charlotte Hornets, and recalled when the twins beat him in the high school national tournament. Philly’s 2024-25 squad features some newcomers in Martin, Andre Drummond, Eric Gordon, Jared McCain, and Adem Bona along with some familiar faces in Kyle Lowry, KJ Martin, and Ricky Council IV.</p><p>When asked about the 76ers’ new Big 3 of Embiid, Maxey and George, Oubre responded that Philly actually has “a Big 12, Big 15.” He joked that he didn’t like the highlighting of the All-Star trio because it excluded him.</p><p>“At the end of the day, all great players, man. We all know what each of them brings to the table,” Oubre said. “But at the end of the day, it’s about how we all mesh together. I have to make them look good and I hope that we can all just do the same for each other. But the sky’s the limit, man. The sky’s the limit and we’ll be ready to continue to attack from all angles.”</p><p>Oubre’s riff about the Big Number of players raises a point that a highly talented trio isn’t enough to truly contend for the championship. A trio of stars is great but doesn’t mean as much if the players around them are too unreliable. A Big 3 can only go as high as the remaining 12 will allow them. Of those 12 for the Sixers, Oubre is going to be one of the most important.</p><h2><b>Kelly Oubre Jr. excited to team up with Paul George on 76ers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Kelly-Oubre-Jr-shoots-over-Paul-George.jpg"><figcaption>© Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Oubre and George have had their share of incidents over the years where one player <a href="https://x.com/EmbiidIsHere/status/1807865325712797981" rel="noopener">gets the best of the other</a> — a nasty crossover, a posterizing dunk, a swatted shot — and then lets the other know. Nothing followed in each incident but this has happened enough times to spark inquiries about whether they hold any animosity toward one another. But Oubre dispelled any rumblings about beef right away.</p><p>“Obviously, everybody wants to talk about a beef or whatever. There’s never been a beef. It’s just been two competitors who respect each other on the court and we just try to go at it really hard,” Oubre said. “So now that we’re on the same team, we can do that to other people. So, I’m excited.”</p><p>George instantly makes the Sixers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-power-rankings-2024-25-paul-george-major-free-agency-moves" rel="noopener">much more dangerous</a> even at age 34. He has a lot to offer Philly in terms of both production on the court and lessons and tips to help his teammates improve. Oubre sounds like he’ll be one of George’s main pupils from the jump.</p><p>“I’m really excited. I’ve always studied this game. I’ve always been a fan from afar,” Oubre said. “To be able to get bits and pieces and nuggets from him, learn his game a little bit, and inspire him. I think we offer different things but we both can feed and learn off of each other. I’m really excited, man, to learn from him and help him do his thing and with the rest of his career that he has left.”</p><p>On his show, Podcast P, George echoed many of the same sentiments Oubre did. He said that he’s looking forward to helping Oubre grow his game and that he’s “one of those players I look forward to competing against.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Some new &amp; familiar faces PG is excited to team up with, including Kelly Oubre 🤝 <a href="https://t.co/ZWANBvcN4G">pic.twitter.com/ZWANBvcN4G</a></p><p>— Podcast P with Paul George (@PodcastPShow) <a href="https://twitter.com/PodcastPShow/status/1811096481719537949?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Oubre’s ability to attack the paint should be unlocked even more with the additional spacing George will provide. Being the worst three-point shooter in the expected starting lineup (him, Caleb Martin, and the three stars) means he will have to be more productive in other areas. Among the ways he’s looking to improve from last season is to “get my percentages up” and “polish my game up,” explaining the two biggest factors in what could be his next step forward.</p><p>“I would say confidence and shot selection, that’s two of the biggest things for me,” he explained. “Just shooting the right ones and not just shooting ones. I think every shot that I shoot is gonna go in because I’m sure all hoops feel that way — but it doesn’t go that way, obviously. But, yeah, just shot selection and staying disciplined and focusing on shooting the right shots.”</p><p>Oubre disclosed that he had been dealing with minor shoulder issues over the past few seasons.

Oubre was a heralded recruit in high school and turned himself into an NBA regular and will be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-16-3-million-contract-free-agency">returning to the Philadelphia 76ers</a> in 2024-25. Let’s look at Kelly Oubre Jr.’s net worth in 2024.</p><h2><b>What is Kelly Oubre Jr.’s net worth in 2024?: $5 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Kelly-Oubre-Jr.s-net-worth-in-2024-2.jpg"></figure><p>Oubre Jr.’s NBA career may not have been as successful as he would have liked coming out of college. However, he has earned numerous contracts with differing levels of value. Kelly Oubre Jr.’s net worth in 2024 <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/kelly-oubre-jr-net-worth" rel="noopener">sits at about $5 million</a>, according to Sportskeeda.</p><p>Oubre was born on Dec. 9, 1995, in New Orleans. He attended George Bush High School in Fort Bend, Texas, but transferred to Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev. his senior season. Oubre was a five-star recruit and high school All-American by USA Today. He committed to playing with the Kansas Jayhawks for the 2014 season.</p><h2><b>Kelly Oubre Jr.’s college career</b></h2><p>Oubre was a big factor in his one season at Kansas, playing in all 36 games and starting in 27. His defensive game shone in college, finishing second on the team in total rebounds and steals as a freshman.</p><p>He was also the highest scorer among all Kansas first-year players. At season’s end, he was on the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team. Oubre decided to forgo his last three years of college eligibility and declared for the NBA Draft.</p><h2><b>Kelly Oubre Jr.’s professional career</b></h2><p>The Atlanta Hawks selected Oubre with the 15th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft. After selecting him, the Hawks traded Oubre’s rights to the Washington Wizards. The Wizards signed him to a four-year, $9.2 million entry-level contract. His best season with the Wizards came in 2017-18 when he averaged 11.8 points per game.</p><p>The following season, the Phoenix Suns acquired Oubre in a trade. His career took off with the Suns, as he raised his points-per-game average to career highs. The Suns signed Oubre to a two-year, $30 million contract extension.</p><p>Oubre would only last in Phoenix for one season as he was traded in the offseason twice. The Oklahoma City Thunder acquired him in a trade for Chris Paul, but he was flipped to the Golden State Warriors. Oubre took the opportunity in Golden State to prove his worth to the league and earn another contract, and he performed well enough to land a contract with the Charlotte Hornets in the offseason.</p><h2><b>Kelly Oubre Jr.’s best landing spot</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.“     GOD$PEED, we good this way.

In his first year, he stayed close to his career average, 15 points per game and four rebounds.</p><p>The 2022-23 season was his best yet, with 20.3 points per game, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. Unfortunately, some injury troubles with his left hand caused him to miss some time. His breakout season brought plenty of hope that he would earn another contract this offseason but talks remained stagnant.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-contract-james-harden" rel="noopener">Oubre signed a one-year deal</a> with the Philadelphia 76ers prior to the 2023-24 season. The 76ers needed some help on the wings after they traded superstar James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers.</p><p>Oubre thrived in his first season in Philadelphia, averaging 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The Sixers rewarded him by agreeing to a two-year, $16.3 million contract, which Oubre can opt out of after the season. Philadelphia will be looking for big things after the Sixers landed free agent Paul George and gave All-Star Tyrese Maxey a long-term contract.</p><h2><b>Kelly Oubre Jr. endorsements</b></h2><p>Oubre was an ambassador of adidas coming out of college, but his deal expired on Oct. 1, 2018.</p><p>In 2018, Converse signed Oubre to a <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25291151/nba-kelly-oubre-jr-signs-converse" rel="noopener">multiyear footwear and apparel</a> endorsement deal. The shoe deal was the first of its kind in the NBA. Oubre wore Nike basketball sneakers on the court but headlined the Converse brand casually.</p><p>Converse took the chance on Oubre, trying to capitalize on the merge of style and fashion in the NBA. Oubre had also taken interviews with Puma and New Balance during his shoe deal free agency but opted for the Nike subsidiary instead.</p><p>A stint with one of the most well-known franchises in the NBA could garner Oubre more traction in the endorsement game. A successful run on the court, playing with a good team in Philadelphia can also help him earn a lucrative contract this offseason. Nevertheless, was Kelly Oubre Jr.’s net worth in 2024 a surprise?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The lefty’s dynamic play and ability to push the pace in transition were something that fit exactly what Philadelphia and head coach Nick Nurse were lacking in the team’s rotations.</p><p>As a result of his offensive contributions, Oubre ended up playing in a total of 68 games, 52 of which he started. He averaged 15.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 44.1 percent from the floor. Despite shooting only 31.1 percent from three-point range, the worst of his career, Oubre still managed to rank second on the team with 101 made threes, trailing only Maxey’s 212 made triples.</p><p>The news of Oubre remaining with the 76ers in free agency comes after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/what-76ers-andre-drummond-eric-gordon-signings-mean-for-rotation">Philadelphia made moves</a> to bring in veterans Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon. Drummond signed a two-year, $10 million deal to return to the 76ers after two seasons with the Chicago Bulls. Gordon, who has long been a rumored target for the Sixers and has a prior relationship with executive Daryl Morey dating back to their days with the Houston Rockets, signed a one-year veteran’s minimum contract for around $3.3 million.</p><p>Aside from his scoring production, Oubre stood out in Philadelphia as a spark of energy. Whether he was in or out of the starting rotation, Oubre simply played hard, and his defensive contributions oftentimes went unnoticed. The 76ers recognized the production from the former 15th overall pick, which is why they have decided to dip into their cap space to re-sign him to a two-year deal that contains a player option for the 2025-26 season.</p><p>This option allows for Oubre to potentially opt out and earn more money next summer, while also giving the Sixers financial flexibility to make more moves alongside Embiid and Maxey.</p><h2><b>How Kelly Oubre Jr.’s contract impacts Sixers’ Paul George pursuit</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Paul-George-reacts-vs.-Mavericks-in-NBA-playoffs.jpg"><figcaption>Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The 76ers entered <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-free-agency-2024-tracker">free agency</a> with the most flexibility when it came to adding talent to their roster and agreeing to new contracts. Embiid was the only player under contract with a guaranteed deal, which has allowed Morey and the Sixers’ brass to formulate a plan to bring in another All-Star-level talent in their pursuit of a championship. As a result, Paul George, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-la-puts-out-statement-explaining-paul-georges-departure">won’t be returning to the Los Angeles Clippers</a>, is expected to agree to terms on a max-level contract with the 76ers.</p><p>The good news regarding Oubre’s new deal is that this doesn’t impact the Sixers’ ability to pursue George in any way. Philadelphia entered the start of free agency on Sunday with over $60 million in practical cap space, allowing them to add talent to their roster while also eventually agreeing to terms on a new long-term max extension with Maxey.</p><p>After the Clippers came out and publicly said that George would not be returning to the organization, all indications quickly pointed in the 76ers’ direction. The 76ers were meeting with George on Sunday night in Los Angeles after his meeting with the Clippers at the start of free agency. As a result, there is a <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1807647209128689723" rel="noopener">growing expectation</a> around the league that George will be offered the four-year, $212 max contract that he is seeking.</p><p>A potential trio of Maxey, George, and Embiid makes for arguably the best-scoring trio in the league based on their 83.2 combined points per game scoring average from the 2023-24 season. With other factors like Drummond, Gordon, and now Oubre in the mix, the only roadblock the 76ers may have to get over during the 2024-25 season to finally break their postseason curse is the injury bug.

In a series defined heavily by injuries on both sides, Oubre was the latest player to stick it out.</p><p>Oubre missed the pregame shootaround, as did Joel Embiid <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-joel-embiid-adds-migraine-to-list-of-health-woes-ahead-of-game-5-vs-knicks">due to a migraine</a>. The Sixers wing tallied 14 points, four rebounds and two steals, closing out the game as Tyrese Maxey saved the Sixers’ season with an unreal fourth quarter. Oubre admitted after the game that he was far from his best.</p><p>“Yeah, man, I feel like dog water right now. But even dogs drink it,” Oubre said. “I feel good, man. I’ve just been drinking a lot of water. I don’t really like taking medicine. I didn’t take medicine. I probably should have because I remember when ‘Rese was here, he said that he took medicine and he had the same thing that I was dealing with.“</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kelly Oubre Jr on fighting through his illness to play:</p><p>“I feel like dogwater right now.

The Sixers ended up dropping that game in an epic collapse late in the fourth quarter. While Maxey is back to feeling better, his teammate on the wing has some more recovering to do.</p><p>Oubre may not have been feeling his best but he helped the 76ers stave off elimination on the road.</p><p>“But yeah, man, I feel okay,” he said. “I‘m gonna give it my all, my heart and my soul each and every time I step on the court. Fatigue was a factor. I had a little bruise on my leg from last game as well. That was a factor. But at the end of the day, man, just doing whatever I can, just scrap a little bit of whatever I can bring to the table to help us win. That was the goal tonight and I’m just happy that I could lean on my guys.”</p><p>Nick Nurse — who himself could be added to the injury report after <a href="https://x.com/ginamizell/status/1785722013568405835" rel="noopener">injuring his finger</a> — clearly trusted Oubre in a close game, playing him throughout the fourth quarter and overtime. His size and athleticism have been huge for the 76ers all season long.</p><p>“He did okay. He did okay. He was really struggling, laboring through some moments out there, as you guys probably saw,” Nurse said. “But when he finally got off the floor, he said, ‘Just gimme a few minutes and I’ll be ready to go back.’ So it was good. I mean, he worked hard and don’t think he feels great.”</p><p>Kelly Oubre Jr. will do what he can to get back to feeling closer to 100 percent before Game 6 back in Philadelphia on Thursday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
