News: 4 days agoOubre (rib) recorded 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 131-126 win over the Wizards.
Spin: Oubre missed his last 11 games after suffering a fractured rib in addition to injuries to his hip and right leg when he was struck by a car in Philadelphia on Nov. 11. Before missing time with the injury, Oubre had started in each of his previous five appearances while playing at least 26 minutes, but he was eased back into the mix Wednesday in a lower-minute bench role. Head coach Nick Nurse isn't ruling out the possibility of Oubre working his way back into the starting five, but the 76ers could view the offensive-minded forward as a better fit on the second unit.
