Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) won't play on Friday against Indiana. Oubre had 13 points, five boards, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's loss to Toronto. However, he won't be available on Friday, joining
Andre Drummond (toe),
Justin Edwards (ankle),
Paul George (groin),
Quentin Grimes (illness),
Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), and
Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) on the shelf. As a result, Philly will need to dig deep for production, with
Jared Butler,
Adem Bona,
Jeff Dowtin Jr.,
Ricky Council IV, and
Guerschon Yabusele on tap to see a sizable bump in scoring opportunities.

Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the shorthanded Raptors. The veteran didn't suit up for Monday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks because of a sprained ankle. As a result,
Lonnie Walker IV moved into the starting lineup and finished with 11 points, five rebounds, and five assists. While Walker could move back to the bench, head coach Nick Nurse may continue to give his bench players extra work, meaning he should remain relevant for fantasy managers. As far as Oubre is concerned, he's a must-start, especially since he'll likely finish as one of the Sixers' top scorers, considering
Tyrese Maxey (back, finger) and
Paul George (groin) are out.

Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. A right ankle sprain may keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. With
Tyrese Maxey (finger, back),
Paul George (groin), and
Joel Embiid (knee) battling injuries, Oubre Jr. has been among Philadelphia's leaders on offense. However, he has now run into health issues himself, forcing the 76ers to dig deeper into their bench depth.
Lonnie Walker IV has produced three strong performances on the bounce and is likely to earn a second consecutive start if Oubre Jr. doesn't play against the Raptors.

Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) won't suit up Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. Oubre joins a long list of 76ers players already out of action that includes
Tyrese Maxey (back/finger),
Joel Embiid (knee),
Jared McCain (knee),
Paul George (groin),
Eric Gordon (wrist) and
Kyle Lowry (hip). Despite an ankle injury, the 29-year-old has only missed four games going into Monday. His next chance to get back in the lineup is Wednesday against the Raptors.
