There is no doubt that the Philadelphia 76ers' identity is shaped around the star duo of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey -- but this roster deserves more credit than that.

Now, he is cementing himself as a key player that this starting five would struggle to replace.
It is fair to say that Kelly Oubre was not the most loved player in franchise history after the 76ers' dismal displays throughout the 2024-25 campaign.
