Sixers discuss Kelly Oubre Jr. as versatile option ahead of postseason
The Philadelphia 76ers discuss how important Kelly Oubre Jr. can be as a versatile option ahead of the start of the postseason.
CAMDEN, N. J. -- As the Philadelphia 76ers get set to start the postseason on Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic in the play-in game, there will be a number of factors they will have to rely on in order to find any type of success.
One of those factors will be Kelly Oubre Jr. as the 11-year veteran out of Kansas continues to be a reliable piece for this group. He averaged 14.
1 points, 5. 0 rebounds, and 1. 6 assists while shooting a career-high 36% from deep in the 2025-26 season.
He battled injuries of his own as he was limited to just 50 games, but Oubre was a big factor for Philadelphia in the regular season and will continue to be in the postseason. As the Sixers start against the Magic in the 7 vs. 8 matchup, Oubre will defend the likes of Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bane on the perimeter along with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner out ont he wing.
