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

Rotowire
Drummond totaled 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 116-107 win over the Knicks.

He also converted all three of his freebies, giving him a pristine true shooting percentage of 84.1 percent on the evening. If Joel Embiid (illness) can't play Saturday versus the Mavericks, Drummond will make for a solid target in daily fantasy leagues.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Strong defensive effort
Rotowire
Drummond provided five points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Hawks.
Drummond's production has been hit-or-miss this season, but he continues to find ways to impact the stat sheet, even with the 76ers getting healthy. Joel Embiid is playing well, so Drummond will take a back seat some nights, but he's always worth a look when Embiid is resting or sidelined for a few games.

Drummond led Philly on the glass despite logging only 18 minutes off the bench Sunday night. This marks his second double-double through four December appearances.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Productive despite foul trouble
Rotowire
Drummond posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 121-102 victory over the Wizards.
Drummond played through his recent knee injury, tallying his second double-double in the past six games. He was limited to 17 minutes as a result of early foul trouble, although the fact that the game was a blowout likely had something to do with it as well. As long as he is relatively healthy, Drummond remains a must-roster player, at least until Joel Embiid (knee) is back playing regular basketball.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Drummond (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Drummond attempted to play through the knee issue during Sunday's loss to the Hawks, but he only managed to log six minutes before tapping out after halftime. The 76ers have a four-game week during Week 7, so it might make sense to give Drummond the night off. If he is forced to join Joel Embiid (knee) on the inactive list, Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow would see a boost.

Rotowire
Drummond will not return to Friday's game against the Nets due to a right knee sprain, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

He was unable to put any weight on his right leg as he was helped off the court, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for the remainder of the game. For now, Drummond should be considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
