76ers' Andre Drummond: Dominates glass in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Drummond closed with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 24 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 loss to the Heat.
The 24 boards were the most by any player in the NBA this season, topping the 22 that Detroit's Jalen Duren pulled down Nov. 5 against Utah. Drummond has started seven straight games while the Sixers wait for Joel Embiid (knee) to recover from his latest injury, recording double-doubles in six of them. Over that stretch, Drummond is averaging 12.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.9 threes in 33.1 minutes per game.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Strong double-double in win
Rotowire
Drummond ended Monday's 110-108 win over the Clippers with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes.
Drummond has filled in admirably for Joel Embiid (knee), averaging 14.3 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.3 threes across 35.5 minutes in his last four games (all starts and all double-doubles). Drummond will continue to see increased usage until Embiid returns and is a must-add player.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Drummond contributed 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pistons.
With Drummond dropping in his sixth made three-pointer of the season, he set a new personal best for three-pointers made, and he's now 6-for-14 from distance on the year. He looks comfortable firing away from long range, so it seems the 32-year-old big man has truly added a three-point stroke to his repertoire. He's been playing well as Philly's fill-in starter over the past three games with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, posting averages of 14.3 points, 12.0 rebounds and 1.3 triples a night.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Powers way to another double-double
Rotowire
Drummond chipped in 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 102-100 victory over the Celtics.
Drummond has been a solid contributor for the Sixers in two consecutive spot starts while Joel Embiid shakes off a knee injury. Drummond has recorded a double-double in back-to-back appearances and now has three such outings in 10 games thus far. The big man should continue to provide fantasy value on the boards and in the scoring column while Embiid is sidelined.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Posts double-double in spot start
Rotowire
Drummond logged 17 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Pistons.
Drummond got the start Sunday due to the absence of Joel Embiid (knee) on the second leg of a back-to-back set, and he responded by delivering his second double-double of the season. The veteran big man can be a solid streaming option thanks to his ability to decent stats when given enough playing time. However, as long as Embiid remains healthy and active, Drummond's upside will be limited to sporadic minutes and a few starts here and there, limiting his fantasy value considerably.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Drummond will start Sunday's game against the Knicks.
The veteran big man draws his first start of the season due to Joel Embiid (knee) being out of the lineup. Drummond is averaging 6.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 18.2 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Double-double off bench
Rotowire
Drummond finished Wednesday's 132-121 loss to the Cavaliers with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes.
It was Adem Bona who drew the start at center due to Joel Embiid (rest) sitting out of Wednesday's game. However, Bona played just 18 minutes to Drummond's 28, a season high for the latter, as he led both teams in rebounding en route to his first double-double of the season. Drummond is averaging 5.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals over 16.7 minutes per game this season.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Grabs eight boards in win
Rotowire
Drummond closed Sunday's 129-105 victory over Brooklyn with five points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes.
Drummond saw increased playing time in Joel Embiid's (injury management) absence and was able to make an impact. It's also worth noting that despite not starting over Adem Bona, Drummond still posted more points and rebounds while seeing more minutes. However, when Embiid returns Tuesday against Chicago, Drummond will likely shift back to his role as the team's third-string center.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Snags 13 rebounds
Rotowire
Drummond posted seven points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets.
Drummond maximized his minutes, pulling down a game-high 13 rebounds while anchoring the paint. The veteran big man played just three minutes in the 76ers' season opener Wednesday but saw an expanded opportunity Saturday, logging more time than fellow reserve Adem Bona. With Dominick Barlow (elbow) exiting early and Joel Embiid on a minutes restriction to open the year, Drummond could see steady involvement if he continues to produce effectively in the interior.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Barely touches floor in win
Rotowire
Drummond racked up one rebound across three minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 win over the Celtics.
Drummond managed just three minutes in the win, despite the fact that Joel Embiid was on a strict minutes restriction. Adem Bona logged 15 minutes as the primary backup, and although his production left a lot to be desired, it would appear as though Drummond is third in the current pecking order, making him a non-factor in just about all fantasy formats.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Healthy for preseason action
Rotowire
Drummond (toe) had two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds in seven minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Drummond missed the end of last season with a toe injury, but he's back in action for the 76ers this fall. The veteran big man should be able to crack the rotation while Joel Embiid (knee) is held out from playing, though Adem Bona, who started Thursday, appears to have a leg up in the center pecking order behind Embiid.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Exercises 2025-26 player option
Rotowire
Drummond (toe) exercised his $5 million player option for the 2025-26 season Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Drummond missed the last 17 games of the 2024-25 season due to a toe injury. The veteran big man's future in Philadelphia was uncertain, as testing free agency or opting in for the 2025-26 campaign were both viable options, especially with Joel Embiid's status in question after he played only 19 games and underwent left knee surgery. Drummond played in 40 games last season and averaged 7.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while shooting 50 percent from the floor.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Drummond (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Drummond has not played since March 12 due to a left big toe sprain, and he'll end up missing the final 17 games of the regular season as a result. When healthy, the veteran center ended up seeing an increased role due to the prolonged absence of Joel Embiid (knee). Drummond will finish the 2024-25 regular season averaging 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 18.8 minutes per game across 40 games (23 starts).

Rotowire
Drummond (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
The 76ers announced Saturday that Drummond would be out for at least five more games due to a left toe sprain, so his absence will extend through Saturday's contest versus Minnesota. The 76ers will then re-evaluate Drummond before determining whether he has any chance at playing again over the final week of the season. Adem Bona should continue to handle the bulk of the minutes at center in the meantime.

76ers' Andre Drummond: No timetable for return
Rotowire
Head coach Nick Nurse indicated Wednesday that Drummond (toe) does not have a timetable on a return, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Drummond has been out of action since March 12 due to a left toe sprain that has bothered him since late December. With no clear indication on a return and Joel Embiid (knee) out for the season, Guerschon Yabusele will continue to start at center while Adem Bona serves as his backup.
