Kelly Oubre
Recap
Kelly Oubre Jr. contributed nine points and five rebounds in the 76ers’ victory over the Hornets, returning effectively from his elbow injury. While Oubre didn’t start, he logged 28 minutes, hinting at a potential shift in the starting lineup. Coach Nick Nurse’s decision to keep Dominick Barlow as a starter may be reconsidered soon, with the expectation that Oubre could re-enter the starting five. The team’s upcoming game against Miami could see changes as Philadelphia seeks its optimal lineup ahead of the playoffs.
