Oubre, 28, signed a one-year minimum contract with the 76ers ahead of the 2023-24 season and he proved to be an essential part of their core group alongside Tyrese Maxey and 2022-23 NBA MVP Joel Embiid. The lefty’s dynamic play and ability to push the pace in transition was something that fit exactly what Philadelphia and head coach Nick Nurse were lacking in the team’s rotations.

As a result of his offensive contributions, Oubre ended up playing in a total of 68 games, 52 of which he started. He averaged 15.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 44.1 percent from the floor. Despite shooting only 31.1 percent from three-point range, the worst of his career, Oubre still managed to rank second on the team with 101 made threes, trailing only Maxey’s 212 made triples.

This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
