Kelly Oubre Jr. underused, Paul George plays isolation ball Sixers lose 109-99 to Phoenix Suns Kelly Oubre Jr. should have been more involved. Paul George relied too much on isolation basketball. And the Wells Fargo Center crowd grew impatient with the 76ers as they fell,

However, the Sixers did get Kelly Oubre Jr. back from a 3-game absence from a left hand sprain. He returned and had a big night scoring 26 points with 11 rebounds as he was able to make things happen on both ends of the floor for Philadelphia.
