Impact Joel Embiid is out for Game 2 with ankle and hip issues, so Drummond will draw the spot start, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Kelly Oubre. Adem Bona should see some extended minutes in the second unit with Embiid unavailable.

Quiet on both ends Saturday Drummond produced one rebound and one assist over eight minutes during Saturday's 109-100 win over the Celtics in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Impact Drummond combined for 73 minutes in the first three games of the series. However, with Joel Embiid returning in Game 4 after undergoing an Appendectomy on April 9, Drummond's workload was reduced significantly. As long as Embiid stays healthy, or at least able to play during the second-round series against the Knicks, Drummond may only see limited action, significantly reducing his fantasy value.

Back in action Drummond (hip) has returned to Sunday's Game 4 against the Celtics, per NBA broadcast.

Impact Drummond exited for the locker room in the second quarter due to an apparent hip injury, but he has since returned to the game. A positive development given the amount of pain he appeared to be in before exiting.

Heads to locker room Sunday Drummond went to the locker room during Sunday's Game 4 against the Celtics due to an apparent hip injury, Bobby Manning of CLNS Media Network reports.

Impact Drummond went down in pain, holding his right hip, midway through the second quarter, before heading to the locker room. If he is unable to return, Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow could see extra minutes.

Impact Drummond delivered arguably his best all-around performance of the season, recording his third straight double-double, while also adding a season-high six combined steals and blocks. It was a vintage effort by Drummond, capped off by a game-sealing three-pointer late in the fourth quarter. Wednesday's win sees the 76ers advance to the playoffs, where the Celtics now await.

Double-double in season finale Drummond registered 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Drummond finished the regular season with a double-double, logging 22 minutes of court time after the team sent Adem Bona to the bench. Bona's benching seems to indicate that the youngster will be expected to lead the way under the basket against the Magic on Tuesday, as there is no timetable for Embiid's (abdomen) return from appendicitis. Even if Bona starts, Drummond's extensive postseason experience will come in handy against stalwart big men like Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter. Drummond averaged 6.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 blocked shots during his 14th pro season.

Records double-double Drummond produced 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 105-94 win over the Pacers.

Impact Drummond didn't get the start Friday, as Adem Bona was the center in the starting lineup due to the absence of Joel Embiid (appendicitis), but the veteran big man found a way to leave his mark while outplaying Bona -- Drummond logged 29 minutes compared to Bona's 19. Drummond has proven he can be a productive player regardless of his role, and he should see steady minutes in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bucks since Embiid won't be available for that game, either.

Cleans up glass in Thursday's loss Drummond finished Thursday's 113-102 loss to the Rockets with five points (2-2 FG, 1-4 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes off the bench.

Impact Adem Bona got the start with Joel Embiid (appendix) unavailable but played only 15 minutes, while Drummond handled the bigger workload from the second unit and produced his best rebounding effort since he pulled down 17 boards against the Trail Blazers on March 15. The veteran center doesn't offer much offense, but over his last 10 games Drummond is averaging 4.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 threes in just 16.4 minutes a contests.

Not starting vs. San Antonio Drummond won't start Monday's game against the Spurs.

Impact With Joel Embiid (oblique) back in the lineup, Drummond will slide to the second unit. The veteran big man has averaged 3.2 points and 4.6 rebounds across 12.4 minutes per game in his last five appearances off the bench.

Struggles in spot start Drummond closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Drummond was elevated into the starting lineup, although he offered very little in terms of tangible production. At this point, Drummond's role is completely reliant on whether Joel Embiid (illness) is healthy. As we saw Saturday, even when Embiid is sidelined, Drummond's production is too inconsistent to warrant sustained attention. At best, he can be streamed in for rebounds, on occasion.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Drummond will start Saturday versus the Pistons, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Drummond is getting the spot-start with Joel Embiid (oblique) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre and Paul George. As a starter this season, Drummond owns averages of 8.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to depth role Drummond chipped in four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in nine minutes during Friday's 115-103 victory over Minnesota.

Impact With Joel Embiid returning from a recent illness, Drummond assumed a depth role, playing no more than 10 minutes for the third time in the past four games. Despite being a strong stream option whenever Embiid misses time, Drummond's role is simply too inconsistent to warrant any sustainable fantasy value.
