Sixers Notes: Oubre, Bench, Embiid, Walker, Fall, More
After spending three years with the Sixers, veteran forward Kelly Oubre Jr. signed a two-year, $16.5MM contract with the Pacers over the summer. Before Sunday’s matchup between the two teams, Oubre was asked whether he expected to re-sign with Philadelphia in the offseason.
According to Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com (Twitter link), Oubre said he heard “whispers” that Mike Gansey wanted to sign “some of his Cleveland guys” after the former Cavaliers GM became the Sixers’ new president of basketball operations in early June. Philadelphia later signed longtime former Cav Dean Wade in free agency, Aaronson notes.
