In his second season with the Sixers, Oubre is averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and a career-high 1.8 steals while shooting 46.5% from the floor. He's also averaging 1.5 steals per game as he has been terrific on the defensive end while playing in 51 of the 54 gams thus far.

A lot of this season’s struggles are linked to a lack of continuity created by injuries, most notably to Embiid, who will also miss Wednesday’s game.

Joel Embiid and Paul George’s injuries derailed the Sixers’ season before it even started. The handling of those injuries only adds to the misery.
