HUGE ovation for Patrick Beverley and Kelly Oubre Jr. (tonight’s first subs) as they check in for their first official minutes as @sixers at home. – 7:57 PM

More important than the offense for me has been Kelly Oubre’s defensive buy-in. Has been engaged off-ball and doing all the things (e.g. high hands) that Nurse has been preaching since camp opened. Then helping them turn stops into buckets on the break, too. Good stuff – 8:19 PM

Kelly Oubre Jr. became the first non-Embiid-Harris Sixer to attempt at shot when he scored a three-point play with 2:55 left in the quarter. He added another basket with 35 seconds later. – 8:02 PM

Lauren Rosen: Kelly Oubre on the @sixers under Nick Nurse: “Coach Nick is a really good leader. He articulates what he wants from us, and makes it really simple for us to execute. I’m excited to continue to learn to elevate my game through him. He is who he is for a reason – He’s a great.” -via Twitter @LaurenMRosen / October 25, 2023
Gina Mizell: P.J. Tucker is also a late scratch tonight due to right ankle soreness. He went through pregame warm-ups. Oubre will start in his place alongside Maxey, Melton, Harris and Reed. -via Twitter @ginamizell / October 16, 2023
“There’s definitely a chip on my shoulder,” he said. “I was definitely undervalued but not only that, the market was horrible this year. Bruce Brown won a championship this year and he got only $30, or $40 (million) and he deserves a bigger bag than that. Kelly Oubre only signed one-year, average 20 (points) in the East. I mean, the market right now is not that good and I read into all that and I’m betting on myself like I did for my first contract. If things go as planned, and God forbid an injury or anything like that, I’ll just let the work do itself.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / October 11, 2023
