Kelly Paul Oubre Jr. (/ˈuːbreɪ/ OO-bray; born December 9, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Oubre played one season of college basketball for the University of Kansas before being selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 15th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft, who then traded him to the Washington Wizards. Oubre has also played for the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and Charlotte Hornets.

Early life

Oubre during the 2014 McDonald's All-American Boys Game

Oubre was the second child born in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Kelly Oubre Sr. and Tonya Coleman (formerly Oubre). Oubre and his family lived in the Magnolia public housing project from his birth until the early part of his childhood, later settling in the Eastover section of New Orleans. Oubre attended Edward Hynes Elementary School (now known as Hynes Charter School) and played for three Milne Boys Home (now known as New Orleans Recreation Development Commission) basketball teams during that time. Oubre's family moved to Richmond, Texas, after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Oubre attended George Bush High School in Fort Bend, Texas, before transferring to Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada, for his senior season. In October 2013, Oubre committed to playing for the Kansas Jayhawks in 2014–15.

College career

As a freshman at Kansas in 2014–15, Oubre was twice named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week and subsequently earned All-Newcomer Team honors. He also earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors. In 36 games (27 starts) for the Jayhawks in 2014–15, Oubre averaged 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 21.0 minutes per game.

On April 1, 2015, Oubre declared for the NBA draft, forgoing his final three years of college eligibility.

Personal life

During his tenure with the Phoenix Suns, Oubre created a brand name of merchandise to help celebrate the community in Arizona and the team that he became a part of for the growth of their future. The "Valley Boyz" name that he came up with for this brand first originated as a hashtag by Oubre on January 9, 2019, as a location tag for the team on Instagram. Initial proceeds from the local sales in Phoenix's Uptown Plaza were given to his teammate Deandre Ayton as proceeds for hurricane relief efforts against Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas through UNICEF. In addition to the Valley Boyz brand, Oubre also helped design and promote the team's "City Edition" jerseys for the 2020–21 season and 2021–22 season.

On November 11, 2023, Oubre was a pedestrian in center city Philadelphia and was allegedly struck by a hit and run driver. Police are still searching for evidence currently. He was treated for a broken rib among various other injuries, and released from a local hospital.

In the early morning of April 23, 2024, Oubre was involved in a second automobile-related accident, allegedly disregarding a red light and subsequently striking another vehicle, though no injuries would result from the incident.
