Kelly Oubre Jr. and the Philadelphia 76ers make a statement about who they really are after a win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Coach Nick Nurse gives a ton of praise to Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. for the progress he has made.
With a little over a week to go until the trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves at a crossroads. Following a rocky start to the regular season,
Tyrese Maxey singles out Kelly Oubre Jr. for his work on the floor to help the Philadelphia 76ers succeed and move forward.

Eric Gordon has returned to form as well, and Ricky Council had a productive game in Delaware then was back for a strong outing against the Lakers.
Last summer, the Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul George in free agency, validating their decision to prioritize cap room during an era in which few stars have changed teams that way. Franchise player Joel Embiid signed a three-year extension and cornerstone Tyrese Maxey signed a five-year max contract.
Maxey scored 30 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers past the Sacramento Kings 117-104 for their fourth straight victory.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been, by far, the most disappointing team in the NBA this season. Acquiring Paul George in the offseason to pair with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid was expected to be a massive move, but the 76ers are just 19-27 through 46 games.
Tyrese Maxey scored 43 points to lead a Philadelphia 76ers team without injured Joel Embiid and Paul George to a 118-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Anthony Davis left the Lakers’ game against Philadelphia on Tuesday in the first half with an abdominal muscle strain. Davis walked to the locker room with his right hand over his stomach when he left with 2:10 to go in the first quarter. Davis had four points in 10 minutes before he was hurt.
CAMDEN, N.J. -- When the Philadelphia 76ers brought in Kelly Oubre Jr. on a veteran's minimum deal late in the 2023 offseason, it appeared that it was Oubre's final chance to prove himself.
