76ers' Andre Drummond gets $25,000 fine from NBA for objectionable gesture

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond has been fined $25,000 for what the league described as an objectionable gesture while on the court

Double-double off bench Thursday Drummond had 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks over 24 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 139-118 victory over the Kings.

Impact Even with Joel Embiid (oblique) sidelined, Philly seems comfortable leaving Drummond on the second unit, and he continues to dominate the glass in that role. Thursday's double-double was his 15th of the season and the veteran center has pulled down double-digit rebounds in three straight games since returning from a bout of back trouble, averaging 9.3 points, 12.7 boards, 3.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.0 minutes during that span.

Available to play Drummond (back) is available for Sunday's game versus Portland, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Drummond is set to return from a three-game absence Sunday, and he'll likely be operating in a reserve role behind Adem Bona. Through five games in March, Drummond has averaged 4.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Drummond (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Drummond has missed the past three games for the 76ers, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for Sunday's match. Adem Bona (back) is also questionable, so Drummond is cleared and Bona sits, Drummond could see quality minutes against Portland.

Not playing Saturday Drummond (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact Drummond will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a back injury, and he'll look to be available for the second leg of the Sixers' back-to-back set against the Trail Blazers on Sunday. Dominick Barlow should continue to start at center for as long as both Drummond and Joel Embiid (oblique) are sidelined, especially if Adem Bona (back) is unable to play against Brooklyn.

Questionable for Saturday Drummond (back) is questionable to play Saturday against the Nets.

Impact Drummond has missed the past two games, and that number could hit three Saturday, with that game being the first of a back-to-back set. Adem Bona (back) is also questionable, and if both these guys are out, Dominick Barlow and MarJon Beauchamp would be slated for major minutes.

Sitting out Thursday Drummond (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Drummond's back issue appeared to flare up earlier in the day, and it's bothering him enough to keep him from playing Thursday. The Sixers will be without Drummond, Joel Embiid (oblique), Kelly Oubre (elbow) and Adem Bona (back) in the frontcourt, leaving plenty of opportunities for the likes of Dominick Barlow, Trendon Watford and Jabari Walker.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Detroit Drummond (back) is questionable to face Detroit on Thursday.

Impact Drummond was a late addition to the injury report, and that's bad news for Philadelphia with how many injuries they have. Adem Bona (back) is out, so the 76ers may need to lean on some small-ball lineups if Drummond can't go.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting vs. Utah Drummond won't start Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact The veteran big man will slide to the second unit in favor of Adem Bona with Joel Embiid (oblique) sidelined. Over his last five outings off the bench, Drummond has averaged 3.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 10.2 minutes per contest.

Posts double-double in spot start Drummond produced 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Drummond got the start Sunday due to the absence of Joel Embiid (oblique), and the veteran big man made his presence felt with his second double-double since the All-Star break. Drummond's playing time is directly tied to Embiid's availability, so while he can be a solid contributor in most formats when he gets enough playing time, he's a solid streaming option at best if Embiid is healthy in most games. Drummond is averaging 8.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game as a starter compared to 4.9 points and 6.5 boards per contest when coming off the bench.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Drummond will start Sunday's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Drummond did not play in the team's last game despite being available and played just seven minutes in the game before that, but he will enter the starting five Sunday. In his last three starts, Drummond averaged 7.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 23.7 minutes per contest.

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.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Starting sans Embiid Drummond will start against the Hawks on Thursday, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact With Joel Embiid (shin) sidelined, Drummond will get the starting nod Thursday. As a starter this season (19 games), the veteran big man has averaged 8.9 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 26.1 minutes per tilt.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Drummond will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Adem Bona will replace Drummond in the first unit for Wednesday's game, and it'll be interesting to see how many minutes Drummond earns as a reserve with Joel Embiid (knee) watching from the sidelines. In 20 games off the bench this season, Drummond has posted averages of 5.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Starting sans Embiid Drummond is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Portland.

Impact With Joel Embiid (knee) inactive, Drummond will step into the starting lineup for Monday's road contest. The veteran big man has started 18 games this season, averaging 8.8 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 26.0 minutes per contest as a starter.
