Kelly Oubre Jr. Questionable for 76ers with Hand Injury
Kelly Oubre Jr. of the Philadelphia 76ers is dealing with a left hand sprain and his status is questionable for the team’s next game. The injury occurred on January 1, 2024, and it remains uncertain if he will be able to play.
What It Means
If Kelly Oubre Jr. misses time, it could impact the Philadelphia 76ers’ lineup. He has been averaging 12.8 points per game this season along with 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists. His shooting percentage from the field stands at 45.5%, but his three-point shooting is only at 28.7%.
The absence of Oubre Jr. might open up more opportunities for other players in the small forward position such as Paul George or Kenyon Martin Jr., who are next in line according to the depth chart. Paul George averages more minutes and points compared to Kenyon Martin Jr., which suggests he might take on a larger role if needed.
