Oubre is expected to sign a one-year deal with the 76ers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Oubre averaged a career-high 20.3 points per game for the Hornets in 2022-23 and was one of the top remaining free agents with just under a month until training camps begin. He lands in an interesting spot in Philadelphia, as Tobias Harris and P.J. Tucker are locked in as starting forwards, while players like Danuel House, Paul Reed and Furkan Korkmaz compete for backup minutes. When the 76ers are at full strength, Oubre could serve as the first or second man off the bench, but he's unlikely to see anywhere close to the sort of usage he enjoyed on a non-contending Hornets squad that was missing several other key players much of last season. Oubre's fantasy outlook would take a step forward if the 76ers elect to trade James Harden, though Philadelphia could receive a player or turn in return in a deal that could absorb at least some of Harden's vacated usage.

Hornets' Kelly Oubre: Sitting out again
Rotowire
Oubre (shoulder) will not play Tuesday against Toronto.
Oubre is said to be battling a shoulder strain that'll cost him a sixth straight game, and at this point in the calendar it's quite possible that his 2022-23 season is over.

Washington (foot), Gordon Hayward (thumb, Cody Martin (knee) and Terry Rozier (foot) among others on the sidelines.

Hornets' Kelly Oubre: Tops 20 again Tuesday
Rotowire

Since moving into the starting lineup at the beginning of March, Oubre has scored more than 20 points in six of seven games -- including four straight -- while averaging 25.4 points, 6.6 boards, 3.0 threes and 1.3 assists. With the Hornets having their sights set firmly on the draft lottery, it's possible the 27-year-old has his workload cut back down the stretch in favor of younger players, but for now Oubre seems to be the top option in the Charlotte offense.
