Oubre’s expiring $8.38M makes him a target for cap relief or a scoring boost as Philly weighs tax implications. His availability adds a dynamic wing score to Brooklyn’s options, potentially fueling a dual-salary path that benefits the Sixers’ tax planning.

Oubre Jr. returns to Philly for a third season, carrying 15.1 PPG and 6.1 RPG from last year on 47% FG and 29.3% from three. He is training with Drew Hanlen ahead of camp and is expected to anchor wing scoring and defense beside Philly's star trio as the team targets a title in a softened East. His fit and outside shooting will shape usage and fantasy value in 2025-26.

Oubre Jr. is back for a third Sixers year and joined Maxey in the gym for 1-on-1 sessions, aiming to harness versatility and scoring punch. In an offense where Embiid draws attention, Oubre could line up as a robust catalyst on the wing, offering steady scoring, defense, and floor spacing, with fantasy upside hinging on consistency and fit.

Oubre’s size and versatility add a needed dimension to PHI’s wing depth. His defensive activity and scoring potential could translate into meaningful fantasy contributions, especially in smaller-ball lineups. If Embiid and/or George are limited, Oubre could see increased shots and more opportunities for value as a third scored and defender.

Kelly Oubre Jr. currently occupies the jersey number No. 9, which Trendon Watford wore previously with the Brooklyn Nets. Watford will now wear No. 12 as he joins the Philadelphia 76ers.
