A hefty fine is surely coming Kelly Oubre Jr.‘s way — the Philadelphia 76ers hooper absolutely unloaded on referees over a blown call at the end of Wednesday’s game … appearing to call them a bunch of bitches.
The Sixers’ 108-107 loss to the LA Clippers ended in controversy … when KO drove the lane in hopes of getting the lead in the final seconds of the contest, but made contact with Paul George instead.
Oubre and Sixers coach Nick Nurse were both LIVID over the non-call after the buzzer … yelling at officials and needing to be restrained.
The internet lipreaders seemed to figure out what Oubre said in the confrontation … claiming Oubre pointed at Kevin Scott, Brandon Adair and JB DeRosa individually and said, “you’re a bitch, you’re a bitch, you’re a bitch.”
It didn’t stop there — some believe Oubre even started talking about their relatives … also referring to them as bitches.
Some on the internet have felt the 28-year-old’s frustration was perhaps warranted … as Scott admitted after the game a foul should’ve been called on the play.

Despite being technically right, Oubre expressed remorse for his actions in the locker rooms … saying, “I want to apologize for just losing my cool, because that’s something I try to work on each and every day, and try to represent God in the best way I possibly can, and that wasn’t it.”
“So I just ask for forgiveness.”
Oubre added he will accept any penalty handed his way.
