Kelly Oubre Jr. Stats

Free-agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The 27-year-old hasn't seen any suitors while hanging around in free agency until now, even though he averaged 20.3 points per game for the Hornets last year. He would provide some much-needed offense outside of just Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, especially if James Harden is moved. It's unclear whether or not he would join the starting five until the Harden domino falls. Either way, he should become one of their top offensive role players.

Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer has written that it's "unlikely" the Charlotte Hornets will re-sign Kelly Oubre Jr. The 27-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent and Boone notes that the Hornets are overcrowded at the wing position, meaning there simply isn't room for Oubre Jr. Charlotte has the No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller in the mix now, Gordon Hayward needs minutes, Cody Martin and Bryce McGowens are competing for playing time, and Miles Bridges is set to return to the team after sitting out last season. Oubre Jr. had a career year in 2022-23 scoring 20.3 points per game and there should be a lot of teams after his signature in free agency.

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is set to become a free agent this season. Despite that, Oubre mentioned he'd like to remain with the Hornets going forward. However, he also said that he understands there's a business side to basketball. That means, if the money isn't there or the Hornets don't want him then he'll head elsewhere. Oubre is coming off a fairly strong season in Charlotte. He averaged a career-high 20.2 points. 5.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 48 games. The injuries kept him down at times, but Oubre was solid whenever he was able to get on the court. It'll be interesting to see if the Hornets want Oubre to be part of their future plans.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors. No surprise here, as Charlotte will also be without Terry Rozier (foot), Gordon Hayward (thumb), P.J. Washington (ankle), and potentially Dennis Smith Jr. (toe). As a result, guys like JT Thor, Kai Jones, Svi Mykhailiuk, Bryce McGowens, and Theo Maledon will see a bump in DFS interest. However, it's anyone's guess who will be the most productive, especially since none of them have been consistent fantasy options all year.
