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.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) won't play on Friday against the Pacers. The 76ers are in trouble, with Justin Edwards (ankle), Paul George (groin), Quentin Grimes (illness), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), Lonnie Walker IV (concussion), and Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) also sidelined versus Indiana. With that in mind, fantasy managers can expect increased production from guys like Guerschon Yabusele, Ricky Council IV, Jeff Dowtin Jr., ... [More]

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is considered questionable for Friday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. In the current season, Drummond has played 40 games. He has an average of 7.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, with his shooting percentage being 50.0% from the field. The last time Drummond played was versus the Toronto Raptors, where Drummond scored four points with six rebounds in 25 minutes. If Drummond remains sidelined, Guerschon Yabusele will likely receive increased playing time in his absence.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) will play on Wednesday versus Toronto. He wasn't available for Monday's loss to the Hawks and was questionable heading into this contest because of an illness. Fortunately, the veteran will be out there. Drummond has averaged 8.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 22 starts this season. Yet, with Paul George (groin) and Tyrese Maxey (back) sidelined, Drummond could be more productive on the scoring end. Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is also out, so Adem Bona, coming off a 12-point, one-block effort, should remain involved.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man was uncertain coming into this game due to an illness, but it appears Drummond is feeling good enough to play. He has started the last five games and averaged 11.0 points and 11.6 rebounds across 24.6 minutes during that span. The Sixers are shorthanded at the center spot, so Drummond is looking like a solid fantasy option right now.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The big man has missed eight games because of a left toe injury. Drummond's return is timely, as the 76ers will be without Guerschon Yabusele (knee) on Friday. He will share backup center duties with Adem Bona, which limits Drummond's fantasy value. The former Piston has averaged 7.1 points and 7.6 rebounds in 19.2 minutes with Philadelphia this season.

According to Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Philadelphia 76ers centerAndre Drummond (toe) has been downgraded to unavailable after carrying a questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. The left toe issue has given the veteran a lot of problems over the last month. With so many injuries, the Sixers need him back on the floor. His next chance to return comes on Wednesday against the Heat. Joel Embiid(knee) is available for Tuesday's game, and with Drummond out of action andGuerschon Yabuselestarting for the injuredPaul George(finger),Adem Bona will see an expanded role at center coming off the bench this evening.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Mavericks. The left toe issue has given the veteran a lot of issues over the last month. But the Sixers could use him back on the floor, especially with the team dealing with so many injuries. With Joel Embiid (knee) questionable, Drummond has a chance to see more minutes against Dallas. But if Embiid and Drummond remain on the shelf, Guerschon Yabusele, amassing 49 points and 13 rebounds in the last two games, will presumably remain in the middle. Adem Bona would likely stay involved, although he doesn't do much outside of his contributions on the glass.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) won't play on Sunday versus Boston. At this point, most fantasy managers just assume he won't be out there. However, with Joel Embiid (knee) still out, Guerschon Yabusele will continue to start. The 29-year-old has averaged 11.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23 starts this season, so he has a place in most fantasy lineups. Adem Bona will also stay in the equation, although he's not a reliable fantasy contributor.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets while still recovering from a toe injury. This will be his 15th missed game across the team's last 19 contests. Since Joel Embiid (knee) also remains sidelined, Guerschon Yabusele is still the best streaming option as he continues to start in the center spot. He averages 10.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 threes per game this season. Adem Bona should also see plenty of minutes as the backup big, and he's averaged 5.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game across his last six appearances.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will not play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The rebounding machine has made only four appearances in January and will sit out a third consecutive game. Since Drummond did not practice on Monday, it seems unlikely that he will return for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Sacramento Kings. Adem Bona will continue to act as the backup center behind Guerschon Yabusele (knee), who is considered probable for the game. Bona has looked quite raw on the court and doesn't currently have fantasy value.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will sit out a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. Drummond is battling a toe injury and has been in and out of the lineup recently. With Joel Embiid (knee) also on the shelf, Guerschon Yabusele will continue to do the heavy lifting at the center position, with Adem Bona logging time as his backup. Yabusele has averaged 10.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in a starting role this season.
