Kelly Oubre Jr. and the Philadelphia 76ers make a statement about who they really are after a win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The 76ers still think Joel Embiid, who’s played in just 13 games this season, is a franchise-level player. “We’re still really happy with Joel,” 76ers majority owner Josh Harris told The Athletic

Oubre contributed 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-104 win over Sacramento.

Coach Nick Nurse gives a ton of praise to Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. for the progress he has made.

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.

Maxey scored 43 points for the Sixers, who again played without All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George among others.

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.

Philadelphia's 4-game winning streak has sparked a glimmer of hope, proving it might be starting to figure things out.

The Sixers led by six early in the second half before the Kings surged ahead 80-68 near the midpoint of the third quarter. The hosts still trailed by double figures with under 4 1/2 minutes left in the period, but they closed on a 16-4 run, taking the lead on Reggie Jackson's 3-pointer in the final 30 seconds.
