Oubre is thriving in a varied role.
Now, he’s a key player to a squad battling for playoff positioning. Last season, Oubre scored a career-high 20.3 points per game. His numbers aren’t as high this season, but he doesn’t have to do as much, with a rotating cast of standouts around him. Plus, those numbers don’t show just how important he is defensively.
He has played a variety of roles this season and done it well — despite missing time because of an accident early in the season. Teammate Kyle Lowry even called Oubre’s performances “phenomenal.”Without backcourt duo Tyrese Maxey and Lowry in the lineup on Tuesday, the Sixers blew past the Detroit Pistons, 120-102, led bySean Couturier, who was injured on April 1 in the Flyers’ 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders, returned to the ice against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
