Former Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has decided to remain a member of the Philadelphia 76ers for a third season. Oubre, 29, on Sunday elected to pick up his $8.4 million player option for next season and return to the team,

Oubre spent two seasons with the Phoenix Suns before joining the Golden State Warriors for a year. He then signed with the Charlotte Hornets and spent two seasons with the team, producing a career-high 20.3 points per game in the 2022-23 season when he was limited to 48 games due to a hand injury that required surgery.

Saturday afternoon, in a move first reported by The Athletic, the Philadelphia 76ers tendered Quentin Grimes an $8.7 million qualifying offer, making him a restricted free agent. That will allow Philadelphia to match any offer Grimes gets on the open free-agent market.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported that James is picking up his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers for the 2025-26 season. James' decision comes after the Lakers' first season with Luka Dončić ended in disappointment despite being favorites to make it far in the West.
