Andre Drummond News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Drops out of rotation Drummond (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Thursday in the 76ers' 124-117 win over the Heat.

Impact Drummond saw action each of the 76ers' previous six games and started on four occasions, but he never appeared to be in line for a long-term stay in the rotation. Top center Joel Embiid was out of the lineup for five of those contests due to shin and knee injuries, and Drummond's minutes were limited to garbage time during the lone game in which Embiid was active during that stretch. With Thursday's game proving to be more competitive while Embiid made his second start in a row, head coach Nick Nurse kept Drummond on the bench and leaned exclusively on Adem Bona as the team's backup center.

Reverting back to bench Drummond is not part of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

Impact The 76ers are getting Joel Embiid (knee/shin) back into the first unit Tuesday. Drummond is available off the bench, but it's possible Adem Bona ends up being the only traditional center to see meaningful playing time behind Embiid.

Team-high 12 rebounds Drummond registered five points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Saturday's 126-111 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Drummond remained in the starting lineup, although he was limited to just 21 minutes. Veteran center DeAndre Jordan was given the starting nod for the Pelicans, and subsequently took advantage of the fact that Drummond is far from an elite defender. However, as long as Joel Embiid (knee) is sidelined, Drummond holds limited value in standard leagues for anyone simply needing to boost their rebound numbers.

Secures double-double in spot start Drummond ended with 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during Thursday's 117-107 loss to the Hawks.

Impact With Joel Embiid (shin/knee) unavailable for a third consecutive contest, Drummond got the starting nod ahead of Adem Bona (20 minutes). Drummond grabbed a game-high 14 boards en route to his second double-double in four February appearances and his 13th of the campaign. He also swatted two shots for the second time over his last three outings. The veteran big man has started three games this month and would likely continue to split the center minutes with Bona if Embiid is unable to play Saturday against New Orleans.

Battling illness Drummond is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness.

Impact Drummond saw just four minutes of playing time during the 76ers' win over the Kings on Thursday, but it's unclear whether his current illness played a factor in his limited playing time. Adem Bona would take on a larger role off the bench as the Sixers' backup big man behind Joel Embiid if Drummond is unable to play Saturday.
