Early life

Oubre was the second child born in New Orleans, Louisiana to Kelly Oubre Sr. and Tonya Coleman (formerly Oubre).[1] 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.[2] 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.[3] Oubre's family moved to Richmond, Texas after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.[4][5] Oubre attended George Bush High School in Fort Bend, Texas before transferring to Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada for his senior season.[6] In October 2013, Oubre committed to playing for the Kansas Jayhawks in 2014–15.[7][8]

College career

As a freshman at Kansas in 2014–15, Oubre was twice named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week[9] and subsequently earned All-Newcomer Team honors. He also earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors.[10] 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.[11]

Professional career

Washington Wizards (2015–2018)

Oubre was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 15th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft. His draft rights were then traded to the Washington Wizards.[12] On December 16, 2015, he scored a career-high 18 points on 6-of-15 shooting in a 114–95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.[13] Throughout his limited playing time during his rookie season, Oubre showed signs of becoming an effective "3 and D" player.[14]

On November 28, 2016, Oubre recorded his first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds in a 101–95 overtime win over the Sacramento Kings.[15] On December 10, he scored a career-high 19 points to go with nine rebounds and three steals in Washington's 110–105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.[16] Oubre was suspended for game four of the Wizards' second-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics after he was ejected in game three for shoving Boston's Kelly Olynyk.[17]

In 2017–18, Oubre scored over 20 points five times,[18] including setting a career high with 26 points on January 19 in a 122–112 win over the Detroit Pistons.[19] However, beginning the year shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from the perimeter through 46 games, Oubre shot just 34.9 percent from the field and 27.4 percent from three in his last 35 games to close the regular season.[20]

On December 10, 2018, Oubre scored a then season-high 23 points in a 109–101 loss to the Indiana Pacers.[21]

The injury was later reported as a right meniscus tear.[37] On March 3, 2020, Oubre underwent a successful arthroscopic surgery regarding the torn meniscus in his right knee and would be re-evaluated in four weeks.[38]

Golden State Warriors (2020–2021)

On November 16, 2020, Oubre, along with Jalen Lecque, Ricky Rubio, Ty Jerome, and a 2022 first-round draft pick, was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Abdel Nader and Chris Paul.[39] On November 22, Oubre was traded to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for a conditional 2021 first-round pick and 2021 second-round pick.[40] On December 22, 2020, Oubre made his Warriors debut, putting up six points and seven rebounds in a 125–99 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.[41] On February 4, 2021, Oubre scored a career-high 40 points in a 147–116 win over the Dallas Mavericks.[42]

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.[46][47] 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.[48] 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.[49] In addition to the Valley Boyz brand, Oubre also helped design and promote the team's "City Edition" jerseys for the 2020–21 season.[50][51]
