Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (ankle) will suit up against Orlando on Friday. The 31-year-old rebounding machine will return from a two-game absence. With the 76ers frontcourt battling injuries, Drummond has carved out a decent role in the rotation. He has averaged 8.1 points and 8.2 rebounds with 1.3 steals in 20.4 minutes this season. Orlando is a mediocre rebounding team, so Drummond should have a productive night at the office. He will start the contest alongside Guerschon Yabusele, Paul George, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Tyrese Maxey.
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Orlando. The 31-year-old has missed the last few games because of a sprained ankle, which is not ideal for a team that has been missing Joel Embiid (knee). If Drummond returns, he's worth starting in most fantasy setups. However, if he doesn't, Guerschon Yabusele, who had 15 points, seven rebounds, and one steal on Wednesday, should continue to benefit significantly.
76ers center Andre Drummond (ankle) was listed as out for Tuesday's NBA Emirates Cup game against the Hornets. Since Joel Embiid (knee/personal) is also out, the Sixers will be short-handed at center, meaning both teams could play very small. Guerschon Yabusele will likely get most of the minutes at center and has produced 0.94 DraftKings points and 0.91 FanDuel points per minute in his time with Drummond and Embiid off the floor. In the one game without Embiid and Drummond this year, Yabusele played 31 minutes and totaled 10 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and a steal against the Cavaliers.
Andre Drummond Leaves With Ankle Sprain, Will Not Return
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (ankle) went up for a rebound in the first quarter and landed on the foot of Tobias Harris. He was then helped off the court and couldn't put any weight down on his foot. The team has reported that he suffered a sprained ankle and will not return to Saturday's game. Guerschon Yabusele will probably see some more minutes at center while Adem Bona should see a sizeable uptick in playing time.
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Drummond sat out of Wednesday's game due to an illness and is in danger of missing his second straight game. The good news is that Joel Embiid is back in the mix, but he's not at full speed yet. That means, Guerschon Yabusele could see significant minutes if Drummond is unable to play on Friday. Yabusele finished with 10 points and nine rebounds in 30 minutes of action on Wednesday. He's worth a look as a streaming option if Drummond misses another game.
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) isn't available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. The veteran had been starting while Joel Embiid was sidelined. But with Embiid back on the floor for Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Drummond had only five points and four rebounds in 18 minutes. With Embiid resting on Wednesday, Guerschon Yabusele should be considered a must-start in all fantasy setups, even more so with Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Paul George (rest) out as well.
Andre Drummond Listed As Questionable On Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an illness on Wednesday. The 31-year-old veteran has averaged 9.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 22.5 minutes in the last five contests. The 76ers front court will miss Drummond's presence if he's unable to suit up, especially with Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) being held out for rest. If Drummond cannot go, Kelly Oubre Jr., Jared McCain, Guerschon Yabusele, and Caleb Martin may see their roles increase.
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond will start on Wednesday night versus Milwaukee. Joel Embiid (knee) won't suit up for at least three games, so Drummond may see plenty of time in the middle for the foreseeable future. The 31-year-old was dominant in 10 starts with the Bulls last season, averaging 14.1 points, 17.9 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals. As a result, Drummond should be featured in any fantasy lineup imaginable. There's also room for Guerschon Yabusele to get involved enough to warrant starting consideration in deeper fantasy setups.
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond appears ready to move on from the Windy City in the summer. According to Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times, Drummond is looking for a new team. The veteran big man will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after completing a two-year, $6.56 million deal in Chicago. Drummond has been a serviceable backup big for the Bulls, averaging 7.3 points and 7.9 rebounds in 15.1 minutes during his stay. The best days are behind Drummond, but he remains a strong rebounder and should help fantasy managers again in the department wherever he lands for the upcoming campaign.
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup with the Heat. The veteran injured his ankle toward the end of the regular season and missed some games. Yet, he was back on the floor for the win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. While Drummond only logged 11 minutes, he made the most of his limited workload, finishing with four points, four rebounds, three blocks, and one steal. Nonetheless, while Nikola Vucevic should absorb most of the minutes in the middle on Friday evening, Drummond has value for DFS managers on a night that features just two games across the National Basketball Association.
