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>

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>

Sure, the Blazers have 11 wins, which is only two fewer than the 76ers, but they’ve looked downright bad for much of the year, as their <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/POR/2025.html" rel="noopener">Net Rating of -8.9 clearly proves</a>.</p><p>What fans likely didn’t expect, however, was to see Kelly Oubre turn in an absolutely wild statline of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-vs-blazers-joel-embiid-new-season-high-blowout-win" rel="noopener">15 points, five rebounds, and a career-high eight steals</a> lining up in the home gym of Mattise Thybulle, who knows a thing or two about picking off passes from his time in Philadelphia.</p><p>When, you may ask, was the last time a 76er put up that kind of stat line? 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>
