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>
