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. With Oubre on Philadelphia's lengthy injury list, Justin Edwards, Ricky Council IV, and Jalen Hood-Schifino all can take on more significant roles in the rotation. Council IV looks like the best fantasy option of the three, as he posted a double-double two games ago against the Dallas Mavericks.
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss a third straight game on Monday against the Houston Rockets. The veteran scorer is struggling to overcome a knee sprain. With Oubre Jr. joining Philadelphia's lengthy injury list, Justin Edwards, Ricky Council IV, and Jalen Hood-Schifino all have the chance to take on larger roles in the rotation. Council IV looks like the best fantasy option of the trio. He notched a double-double in the last game against the Dallas Mavericks and has averaged 14.3 points with 5.3 rebounds over the past four contests.
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. However, he won't be available on Friday, joining Andre Drummond (toe), Justin Edwards (ankle), Paul George (groin), Quentin Grimes (illness), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), and Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) on the shelf. As a result, Philly will need to dig deep for production, with Jared Butler, Adem Bona, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Ricky Council IV, and Guerschon Yabusele on tap to see a sizable bump in scoring opportunities.
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.
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.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) won't suit up Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. Oubre joins a long list of 76ers players already out of action that includes Tyrese Maxey (back/finger), Joel Embiid (knee), Jared McCain (knee), Paul George (groin), Eric Gordon (wrist) and Kyle Lowry (hip). Despite an ankle injury, the 29-year-old has only missed four games going into Monday. His next chance to get back in the lineup is Wednesday against the Raptors.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) will play on Tuesday in Minnesota. The veteran wasn't available for Monday's loss to the Blazers due to an illness and was back on the injury report heading into Tuesday's game. But it appears he's feeling better. With Tyrese Maxey (back) unavailable, Oubre, along with Paul George (groin) and Quentin Grimes (biceps), should pick up most of the slack on the scoring end, so all of them could exceed their usual expectations.

Oubre will be out of action for the first game since January 4th due to an illness. On Tuesday, he could return in the second leg of the 76ers back-to-back set against Minnesota.
