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 fifteen 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.
