Drops out of rotation Drummond (coach's decision) didn't see any playing time in Tuesday's 139-136 overtime win over the Grizzlies.

Impact With Joel Embiid (ankle/illness) back in action following a one-game absence, Drummond ended up being the odd man out of the Philadelphia frontcourt rotation. Head coach Nick Nurse opted to keep Adem Bona (26 minutes) in the fold as Embiid's top backup, leaving no playing time available for Drummond. The 32-year-old had been trending down before exiting the rotation, as Drummond had averaged 6.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.0 minutes per game while shooting just 45.9 percent from the field over his first 11 appearances of December.

Impact Drummond reverted to the 76ers' bench Tuesday following the return of Joel Embiid (knee/illness), but the former still made an impact in a reserve role with eight offensive rebounds, en route to his 11th double-double of the regular season. Drummond was limited to just 40 games during the 2024-25 regular season due to multiple injuries, but he has played in 27 of 28 regular-season games (including 13 starts) to open the 2025-26 campaign, which has been particularly important given Embiid's knee injury management.
