Andre Drummond News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Starting sans Embiid Drummond is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Suns, per Ky Carlin of USA Today.

Impact Joel Embiid (ankle) is receiving a maintenance day Tuesday, allowing Drummond to enter the first unit. Drummond makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option, averaging 9.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 blocks in 26.6 minutes per tilt across 15 games as a starter this season.

Grabs nine boards Drummond ended Wednesday's 133-107 loss to Cleveland with seven points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and nine rebounds across 12 minutes.

Impact Drummond pulled down a team-high nine rebounds, although he was limited to just 12 minutes off the bench. With Joel Embiid relatively healthy at the moment, Drummond's role has reduced significantly. He has played in just 10 games over the past month, averaging 6.5 points and 7.4 rebounds. At best, he should be viewed as a streaming option, if and when Embiid misses time.

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.

Coming off bench Tuesday Drummond is not in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Drummond will revert to a bench role Tuesday after Joel Embiid (ankle/illness) was cleared to return from a one-game absence. Drummond has failed to reach double-digit points in five of his last seven outings, and since Dec. 2 he has averaged 6.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks over 19.0 minutes per game.

Quiet outing in loss Drummond logged four points (2-4 FG) and four rebounds over 18 minutes during Sunday's 129-104 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Although Drummond got the start for Joel Embiid (ankle), he wasn't able to find much success Monday. Meanwhile, Adem Bona put together one of his best lines of the season. Although Drummond has been far better than Bona for most of the season, this could be a position battle to watch.

Double-double off bench Drummond closed Tuesday's 114-106 loss to Brooklyn with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT) and 13 rebounds across 17 minutes.

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.
