In a three-year span, Kelly Oubre Jr. established himself as a mainstay in the Philadelphia 76ers’ starting lineup and a player who possesses contagious energy on and off the court. But, after being sidelined by a sprained left knee since November 14th, the 76ers turned to Dominick Barlow to fill the void–who has done so at a high level. Now that Oubre is ramping up, it begs the question: Will he retain his spot?
The 11-year veteran returned in Philadelphia’s 131-110 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, but Barlow remained in the starting lineup.
