Back in action
Drummond (hip) has returned to Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Celtics, per NBA broadcast.
Analysis
Drummond exited for the locker room in the second quarter due to an apparent hip injury. However, he has since returned to the game, certainly a positive development given the amount of pain he appeared to be in before exiting.

Heads to locker room Sunday
Drummond went to the locker room during Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Celtics due to an apparent hip injury, Bobby Manning of CLNS Media Network reports.
Analysis
Drummond went down in pain while holding his right hip midway through the second quarter before heading to the locker room. If he is unable to return, Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow could see extra minutes.

Strong line off bench
Drummond closed with 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 win over the Celtics in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Adem Bona continues to struggle as the fill-in starting center, while Drummond bounced back Tuesday after a lackluster effort in Game 1. Joel Embiid (abdomen) started his post-appendectomy strength and conditioning program Monday, but his status for Game 3 looks iffy at best.
