CAMDEN, N.J.–The Philadelphia 76ers were able to make a solid pickup late in free agency when they brought in Kelly Oubre Jr. on a 1-year deal. Oubre Jr. averaged 20.3 points for the Charlotte Hornets in the 2022-23 season and he has shown off his skill for the Sixers in the preseason.
In Wednesday’s preseason loss to the Boston Celtics, Oubre Jr. poured in 18 points on 6-for-8 shooting and he drilled four triples, but it was his defense that caught the eye of his team.
After the loss, Tyrese Maxey gave a lot of love to Oubre Jr.
