Closes out decent season
Drummond finished with four points (2-4 FG) and four rebounds across seven minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Analyse
Drummond played a similar role as he did in 2024-25 during his second season with the 76ers in 2025-26, occasionally filling in for Joel Embiid as a starter while mostly occupying a bench role. Drummond, who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, averaged 6.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 blocks in 19.5 minutes per tilt over 63 regular-season games (25 starts), and he may operate as a No. 2 center again in 2026-27 either with Philadelphia or elsewhere.

Headed to bench Friday
Drummond will come off the bench in Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Analyse
Joel Embiid (ankle) is back and starting, so Drummond will shift back to the second unit. As a reserve this postseason, Drummond owns averages of 4.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game.

Starting in Game 2
Drummond will start in Wednesday's Game 2 matchup with the Knicks.
Analyse
Joel Embiid is out for Game 2 with ankle and hip issues, so Drummond will draw the spot start, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Kelly Oubre. Adem Bona should see some extended minutes in the second unit with Embiid unavailable.
