Oubre scored 16 points in the first half of Tuesday’s game, giving the 76ers a needed boost with Tyrese Maxey struggling to get going. Unfortunately, for those with the Tsunami Papi rostered, there wasn’t much offensive production after halftime. Still, Oubre totaled 39 points in two starts for the injured Paul George. If George remains out for Thursday’s game against the Rockets, Oubre will be worth streaming.

With Paul George (knee) sidelined for the first leg of this back-to-back, Oubre was able to get the starting nod. He has been an inconsistent producer as a reserve, but he took advantage of this opportunity and had his highest scoring game since Nov. 8. He can be productive as a starter, but that is a role that he’ll only have when there is an injury in front of him. George should be back to take on the Suns on Tuesday, so Oubre should head back to the bench.

Paul George (knee) is sidelined, which results in Oubre returning to the starting unit. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so George should return to take on the Suns on Tuesday. However, Oubre will get at least one game of increased value.

Oubre has not appeared in a game since November 14, but that could change on Wednesday. His minutes will likely be restricted, but Oubre’s return would likely mean fewer minutes for Jabari Walker if he doesn’t fall out of the rotation entirely.

Oubre will miss another game, but a return to action may not be far away. Ahead of Saturday’s win over the Knicks, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said that Oubre and Trendon Watford (adductor) are ready to play 5-on-5 in practice. For most players, that tends to be one of the final thresholds to cross before being cleared to play in games.

Oubre has not appeared in a game since November 14, and it’s unknown when he’ll be able to return. The 76ers will continue to rely on Quentin Grimes for wing production off the bench, and he’s worth rostering in deep leagues. Also, Dominick Barlow will remain in the starting lineup.

Oubre, who last played on November 14, has not reached the point where he can play in games. Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain will continue to provide reliable minutes on the wings, while Dominick Barlow remains in the starting lineup.

Oubre has been out since November 14th, and the team said last week that he would be re-evaluated this week. It seems that the evaluation didn’t change much in terms of his recovery time. Quentin Grimes will continue to play big minutes and put up top-60 value in fantasy formats.

Oubre has been out since November 14, recovering from a sprained LCL in his left knee. At the time, it was announced that he would be out for at least two weeks, but the timeline will be closer to four at a minimum. In addition to next week’s evaluation, there will likely be a ramp-up period for Oubre once he’s cleared for contact. His absence has enhanced the fantasy values of Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain, with the former having moved into the starting lineup.

Injured during the 76ers’ November 14 loss to the Pistons, Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL. The good news for Philadelphia is that Paul George made his season debut on Monday, but his playing time will be limited due to injury management. With George unavailable for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors, Justin Edwards steps into the starting lineup. However, Quentin Grimes is the best streaming option with Oubre sidelined.

Oubre left Friday’s game against the Pistons with a knee injury. Now the 29-year-old small forward is set to see a specialist after being diagnosed with an LCL (lateral collateral ligament) injury. Oubre is without a timetable for return. Quentin Grimes would be in line for a bigger role and boost in fantasy value while Oubre is out.

Oubre’s early exit should lead to Quentin Grimes taking on a larger role and being part of the closing unit. If Oubre remains out past this game, Grimes could slide into the starting lineup and see a boost in minutes and usage.

Oubre continues to provide excellent fantasy value, and according to Basketball Monster, he’s approaching the top-25 in nine-cat formats. While the rebounds were limited on Tuesday, the Tsunami Papi was efficient offensively and recorded four “stocks.” Oubre’s rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues and is worth adding until Paul George (knee) returns and can take on a full workload. However, fantasy managers who already have Oubre should consider selling high.

Oubre put on a show during the first quarter of Sunday’s game, scoring 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field. Cam Thomas was guarding him for most of that run, and Thomas has never been known for his defensive ability. Oubre was comparatively quiet for the rest of the night, but the damage had been done. The only negative was that he tweaked his ankle during the second half. While Oubre could have returned, there was no need to risk it with the 76ers up big. The “Tsunami Papi” continues to exceed expectations in fantasy basketball, providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. The 76ers play four games during Week 3, and Oubre’s value will remain high for as long as Paul George and Jared McCain are out.

While Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe (14/6/4/1 with four three-pointers) have received most of the attention for Philadelphia’s 4-0 start, Oubre’s production has been valuable. He’s scored 17 points or more in three of the four games, recording his second consecutive double-double on Tuesday. The eventual return of Paul George (knee) may impact Oubre’s usage, but he’ll remain a fixture in the starting lineup. He’s only rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues. And with the Sixers playing twice within the final three days of Week 2, Oubre makes for a solid add before Friday’s games.

While Oubre only shot 2-of-8 from the field in Thursday’s preseason opener, he recorded a complete stat line. The Tsunami Papi’s versatility was again on display Saturday, and he shot the ball better from the field. Oubre was an uncharacteristically poor 1-of-4 from the foul line, but that should not generate too much concern. Even with a healthy Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid in the fold, fantasy managers should avoid undervaluing Oubre. He’s worth the risk as a late-round pick, even in standard league drafts.

Sunday was deadline day for Oubre, who has decided to exercise his player option worth $8.4 million. The veteran wing has provided solid value in both seasons with the 76ers, most recently averaging 15.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 three-pointers per game in 2024-25. While Oubre did offer solid fantasy value last season, the 76ers stand to be deeper on the perimeter next season with Jared McCain (knee) being healthy and lottery pick VJ Edgecombe joining the team. Also, the 76ers are expected to do whatever they can to re-sign Quentin Grimes once he hits restricted free agency on Monday.

While Saturday’s game will be the second straight missed by Lowry, the 76ers have been without Oubre since March 12. For Philadelphia, these final games are about improving their draft lottery odds, as the 76ers’ first-round pick is only top-6 protected. Expect plenty of Quentin Grimes and Justin Edwards as Philadelphia plays out the remainder of its schedule.

Oubre joins the many 76ers rotation players who will not play in Friday’s game. Expect to see a lot of Jared Butler, Jeff Dowtin and Ricky Council IV, and Jalen Hood-Schifino will also be available. Butler and Dowtin are worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues.

Oubre, already recovering from an ankle injury, has been added to Friday’s injury report with a sprained right knee. With Quentin Grimes (illness) also questionable and Tyrese Maxey and Paul George out, the 76ers’ perimeter rotation could be extremely light for Friday’s game. Ricky Council IV, Jeff Dowtin Jr. and Jared Butler would all figure more prominently within the rotation if Oubre and Grimes cannot play.

Oubre Jr. sat out the second night of Philadelphia’s back-to-back when they took on Atlanta on Monday. Lonnie Walker IV entered the starting unit in his place and contributed 11 points, five rebounds and five assists. He should draw another start if Oubre Jr. remains out, and Justin Edwards should be in line for extra minutes and usage.

Oubre Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV (17 points, five triples) were the lone bright spots for the Sixers in an otherwise putrid performance. Philly’s other four starters combined for just 33 points, and Philly dropped its 41st game in blowout fashion. With the Sixers already looking ahead to next season, we’re unlikely to see much of Tyrese Maxey or Paul George for the rest of the campaign, which means Oubre Jr. could see big minutes and usage down the stretch. The games might not mean anything for the Sixers in real life, but Oubre Jr. could post meaningful numbers for fantasy managers during “silly season.”

After missing Monday’s game due to an illness, Oubre was able to pick up where he left off in his last appearance. Oubre has scored at least 20 points in his last three games, and he will continue to be a focal point of the offense for the rest of the season. With Joel Embiid done for the year and Tyrese Maxey and Paul George battling injuries, it wouldn’t be surprising if the 76ers relied on Oubre and Quentin Grimes to lead the team in scoring over the final month of the year.
