The Philadelphia 76ers are undergoing some tweaking to the roster as President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey is looking to put his stamp on the organization. His first two moves were to bring in Dean Wade along with Ariel Hukporti as he looks to build the supporting cast around the team's core.

With the additions, that means the loss of some key players from the previous team. The Sixers already lost Quentin Grimes to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, but they will now also lose Kelly Oubre Jr. in free agency.

Oubre has reportedly agreed to a 2-year $17 million deal with the Indiana Pacers. The 11-year veteran out of Kansas played three seasons in Philadelphia and averaged 14.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists while being a key defender for the Sixers.

Oubre had some good moments with the Sixers, but he will now look to take that production to a Pacers team that has high hopes in 2026-27 with the return of star guard Tyrese Haliburton.
