| Fri Mar 27 | 21:29 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Ready to Return Saturday |
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) appears set to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. While the team has officially listed him as questionable for the game, Oubre said on Friday that he will play. The former Hornet has been out of the lineup for eight games due to a left elbow injury. Tyrese Maxey (finger) could also be back in action on Saturday, meaning Philadelphia may have all players available for the game. Quentin Grimes and Dominick Barlow could lose playing time with Oubre Jr.'s return. |

| Wed Mar 11 | 18:21 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Out at Least Two Weeks |
According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) will miss at least two weeks. Oubre is dealing with a sprain of the lateral collateral ligament in his left elbow. The 30-year-old was already out of action for nearly two months with a knee sprain. With Oubre on the shelf and so many 76ers injuries, Justin Edwards could see an expanded role and is a sneaky streaming option as he finished with 14 points, two rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Monday's loss to the Cavs. |

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) is ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Oubre will now miss both games of the back-to-back set due to a lingering illness. His next chance to play will come versus the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The Sixers are going to need to lean on their backup forwards, with VJ Edgecombe (back) also sidelined. Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, and Jabari Walker are all candidates to see increased roles on Wednesday. Walker could be a sneaky streaming option after dropping 20 points with seven rebounds across 19 minutes of action on Tuesday. |

| Tue Mar 3 | 15:45 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed as Out on Tuesday |
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) was a late addition to the injury report and was downgraded to out on Tuesday, as his team starts their back-to-back set of games with a home game against the Spurs. Without Oubre, more minutes will likely be available for Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker on the wings. With Joel Embiid (oblique) also out, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Dominick Barlow will carry more of the offense, while Grimes could end up a strong option for DFS and streaming usage on Tuesday night. When he has gotten big workloads in the past, Grimes has shown good upside. |

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) is set to miss two weeks of action. The 29-year-old sustained an LCL strain in his left knee last Friday against the Detroit Pistons and has already sat out a pair of games. Oubre Jr. ranks fourth in scoring among the 76ers players, averaging 16.8 points in 34.8 minutes. He has had a large workload due to Paul George's (knee) absence. George made his season debut at the start of this week and could be back in action on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks after sitting out the first leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Toronto Raptors. |

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Oubre Jr. sustained anLCL sprain in his left knee on Friday in a game against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran was productive before his injury, averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 34.8 minutes. Paul George (knee) replaced Oubre Jr. in the starting lineup on Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, but he also won't play against the Raptors. Justin Edwards may get the starting nod, with Jabari Walker also in a position to play a larger role. |

| Mon Nov 17 2025 | 12:44 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Ruled Out Monday Vs. Clippers |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) has been diagnosed with an LCL injury in his left knee and has officially been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. There hasn't been a firm timetable announced for his return, so it seems like he'll be treated as day-to-day for the moment. Oubre has been a big part of the Sixers' early success, but with Paul George (knee) seemingly getting ready to make his debut, it could be good timing for reinforcements. If George doesn't play either, a combination of Justin Edwards, Trendon Watford, and Dominick Barlow would likely see more minutes. Edwards has been a great help for fantasy mangers looking for threes (1.6 per game), while Barlow has been better in rebounding and stock numbers. |

| Sat Nov 15 2025 | 08:25 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Exits Early with Knee Hyperextension |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) was ruled out for the night after leaving Friday's loss to Detroit, finishing with three points, one rebound, one assist, and two steals in under 15 minutes. With Joel Embiid (knee) out and both Paul George (knee) and Jared McCain (G League) uncertain to return for the next game, this injury adds strain to Philadelphia's depth. Oubre has been a steady contributor this season, averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 steals on 49.7% shooting and 34.3% from deep. If he misses time, expect increased usage for Quentin Grimes, VJ Edgecombe, and Justin Edwards, while Dominick Barlow, who just returned and logged 10 points and eight rebounds, becomes a deeper-league streaming option. |

| Wed Sep 10 2025 | 07:48 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Reportedly on the Trade Block |
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is reportedly on the trade block. The team seems ready to part with him to offer restricted free agent Quentin Grimes a better financial package. "There has been buzz all summer long about the Sixers looking to potentially move one of, if not both, Andre Drummond and Kelly Oubre," NBA Insider Jake Fischer said during a Bleacher Report live stream. "If they are able to find a deal for one of those two guys as we get closer to camp, that would open up some more wiggle room for Philadelphia to be able to pay Grimes a little bit more than what he's looking at right now and what that qualifying offer would be." Oubre Jr. has been a productive player for the 76ers and exercised an $8.4 million player option for this season. With the team healthy again, Oubre Jr.'s role could be quite different in 2025-26, so a move elsewhere might benefit his fantasy value. |

| Sun Jun 29 2025 | 15:02 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Opts into Player Option |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has decided to opt into his $8.4 million player option for the 2025-2026 season. Oubre will stick in Philly for a third season after playing a fairly big role on the team over the last two seasons. He averaged 15.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 34.6 minutes per game in 60 games last season. He figures to have a similar role next season, but could have more competition. The Sixers drafted VJ Edgecombe who should immediately get decent minutes in the rotation. Also, Jared McCain (knee) will be healthy again, so Oubre could see a dip in playing time. |

| Mon Apr 14 2025 | 13:33 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Says There's Unfinished Business In Philadelphia |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. continued to raise his stock despite a tumultuous season that saw the team finish in 13th place in the East and miss the playoffs. He has a player option for the 2025-26 season, and when asked about it during a press conference, he said, "This is a business, but at the end of the day I'm happy. And I like to finish what I start, and I don't feel complete. So godspeed." This seems very encouraging for the Sixers, but it also seems like he's waiting to see how the offseason plays out and would like to negotiate a pay raise. This offseason is extremely important for the Sixers and could ultimately change the way the franchise looks from top to bottom. Oubre averaged 15.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game as a starter, so his role on the team is not in question. |

| Fri Mar 21 2025 | 14:50 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Remains Sidelined On Friday |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive outing as the team ruled him out with the same knee sprain he suffered against the Toronto Raptors on March 12. The 76ers are far from the playoff race and are one of the most injured teams in the league at the moment, Oubre likely won't be rushed back for any reason. While he watches from the sidelines, Jared Butler, Justin Edwards, and Quentin Grimes have all been quality streaming options. Since Grimes is likely the most rostered, Butler and Edwards give some good value in scoring and guard stats. Edwards recently posted 19 points, two assists, two rebounds, and two steals in their last game on Wednesday. |

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr.(knee) will miss his third straight game on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran scorer has been dealing with a knee sprain, and there isn't a timetable for when he will return.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) won't play on Friday against Indiana. Oubre had 13 points, five boards, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's loss to Toronto.

| Wed Mar 12 2025 | 18:50 | Kelly Oubre Jr. Available Against Toronto |
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the shorthanded Raptors. The veteran didn't suit up for Monday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks because of a sprained ankle. As a result, Lonnie Walker IV moved into the starting lineup and finished with 11 points, five rebounds, and five assists. While Walker could move back to the bench, head coach Nick Nurse may continue to give his bench players extra work, meaning he should remain relevant for fantasy managers. As far as Oubre is concerned, he's a must-start, especially since he'll likely finish as one of the Sixers' top scorers, considering Tyrese Maxey (back, finger) and Paul George (groin) are out. |

| Wed Mar 12 2025 | 10:06 | Kelly Oubre Jr. May Miss Another Game On Wednesday |
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. A right ankle sprain may keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. With Tyrese Maxey (finger, back), Paul George (groin), and Joel Embiid (knee) battling injuries, Oubre Jr. has been among Philadelphia's leaders on offense. However, he has now run into health issues himself, forcing the 76ers to dig deeper into their bench depth. Lonnie Walker IV has produced three strong performances on the bounce and is likely to earn a second consecutive start if Oubre Jr. doesn't play against the Raptors. |
