Last season with theGolden State Warriors, Oubre Jr. averaged 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 steals per game over 55 games (50 starts). The 15th overall pick of the 2015 NBA Draft, Oubre Jr. has averaged 11.5 points per game (on 43/33/76 shooting splits) over six seasons.

Oubre Jr. had a career season with the Phoenix Suns in 2019-20, averaging 18.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. He split the 2018-19 season with the Washington Wizards and Suns.

The Warriors acquired him on November 22, 2020, however, the expected return of Klay Thompson from Achilles injury and drafting of Jonathan Kuminga with the seventh overall selection of this year's drafthas made Oubre Jr. expendable.
