Despite the Philadelphia 76ers currently sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings, Kelly Oubre remains optimistic about their growth as a team and believes they’ve made significant strides in overcoming their early-season challenges, per Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“We’ve been taking strides in the right direction,” Oubre stated after their two-game winning streak came to an end. “I think tonight was a little step back. But at the end of the day, we cannot define or determine us because we are getting better. Our last ten games have been really good for us. We just have to learn from this one.
“I wouldn’t say forget it or wash it at all because, obviously, we have enough of those losses that we can do that with, but every game is more and more important. We need to win these. So continue to stay confident and get back to who we are, figure that out, and keep getting better off of that.”
Oubre has played 10 seasons for 5 teams, including the Wizards and 76ers. Throughout his career, he has established himself as a reliable scorer and contributor, averaging 13.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in 618 regular-season appearances.
