Andre Drummond Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. and center Andre Drummond have been named as starters for Saturday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. While Drummond's move to the first unit was expected after Philadelphia ruled Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) out for the game, Oubre Jr.'s re-emergence as a starter is a bit surprising. He has come off the bench in four straight games. On Saturday, Oubre Jr. will replace Dominick Barlow in the starting lineup. Both Oubre Jr. and Drummond have more fantasy appeal as starters.

According to Ky Carlin of USA Today, Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Drummond is dealing with a back issue that will keep him out of action. The Sixers have a very shorthanded frontcourt with Joel Embiid (oblique), Kelly Oubre Jr.(elbow) and Adem Bona (back) also out, so Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford are in line to see extended minutes in the Motor City this evening.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (knee) exited Sunday's game against Atlanta after six minutes and did not return, leaving his status for upcoming contests unclear. Drummond has been productive recently with 8.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks across his last five full outings, so any absence would open a path for second-year big Adem Bona. Bona logged 22 minutes with four points, three rebounds, and two blocks on Sunday and profiles as a deeper-league stream for defensive stats if Drummond misses time.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (knee) will play on Sunday versus the Hawks. He was listed as questionable, although the knee contusion won't be enough to keep him off the floor. However, with Joel Embiid (knee) returning from his nine-game absence, Drummond will head back to the bench, significantly lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond was in great spirits during media day as he said he was at 100 percent regarding his toe injury. He first suffered the toe sprain before Christmas last year, and then it lingered around for the rest of the season. Now, he said that he's "looked great" during workouts and he has added motivation because he feels like he let the city down last year. Across 40 appearances he averaged 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 18.8 minutes per game. The front court got a little more crowded over the offseason as the Sixers added rookie Johni Broome, and Adem Bona received some great experience with playing time last season and with Turkey in the EuroBasket tournament. So, even if Drummond is healthy to start the season, he may not see the same type of minutes he was getting before, depending on Nick Nurse's rotation.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond may start the 2025-26 campaign elsewhere. NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the team could look to move him to open up more resources for the signing of restricted free agent Quentin Grimes. "There has been buzz all summer long about the Sixers looking to potentially move one of, if not both, Andre Drummond and Kelly Oubre," Fischer said. "If they are able to find a deal for one of those two guys as we get closer to camp, that would open up some more wiggle room for Philadelphia to be able to pay Grimes a little bit more than what he's looking at right now and what that qualifying offer would be." A departure from Philadelphia will likely hurt Drummond's fantasy value because he has seen considerable action as a starter with the Sixers due to Joel Embiid's health issues.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond has picked up his $5 million player option for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. Drummond heads back to Philly for a second season after playing well in a reserve role with the team last season. He was brought in as depth behind Joel Embiid, but ended up starting in 23 games due to Embiid's health issues. He averaged 7.3 points and 7.8 rebounds across 40 games with the Sixers last season. The hope is that Embiid is healthy next season, so Drummond would have limited fantasy value in a reserve role.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond has a player option remaining on his contract, and he told reporters that he plans on returning to the team for the 2025-26 season. The veteran big man, much like the rest of the team, had some injury issues throughout the year and only appeared in 40 games, which was a career low. He posted averages of 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals across 18.8 minutes per game. His role next season is in question after rookie center Adem Bona showed a lot of promise in the last month and a half of the season. Plus, with their top two stars already aging, the 76ers may want to move in a younger direction, so Drummond is one to watch through the offseason.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will miss Monday's action against the Houston Rockets. The big man has been troubled by a toe sprain for quite some time, having played only once in the past four games. Adem Bona (ankle) will also remain out on Monday, while Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is considered questionable for the game, meaning Alex Reese, Oshae Brissett, and Chuma Okeke will have to do the heavy lifting in the frontcourt.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) remains out on Sunday versus Dallas. The veteran has battled the toe injury all season. But with the 76ers limping to the end of the 2024-25 campaign, fantasy managers may not see him on the floor much the rest of the way. However, with Adem Bona (ankle) also ruled out after amassing 16 points, nine boards, two steals, and a block on Friday against Indiana, Guerschon Yabusele will likely slide over to the five spot. The Sixers also signed Chuma Okeke to a 10-day contract on Saturday, so he will likely see some meaningful work versus a Mavericks team that is also decimated by various ailments.
