Double-double off bench
Drummond closed Tuesday's 114-106 loss to Brooklyn with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT) and 13 rebounds across 17 minutes.
Analysis
Drummond reverted to the 76ers' bench Tuesday following the return of Joel Embiid (knee/illness), but the former still made an impact in a reserve role with eight offensive rebounds, en route to his 11th double-double of the regular season. Drummond was limited to just 40 games during the 2024-25 regular season due to multiple injuries, but he has played in 27 of 28 regular-season games (including 13 starts) to open the 2025-26 campaign, which has been particularly important given Embiid's knee injury management.

Double-doubles in win
Drummond totaled 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 116-107 win over the Knicks.
Analysis
Drummond was locked in from long range in this one, drilling his first three triples while setting a new career high in three-point makes. He also converted all three of his freebies, giving him a pristine true shooting percentage of 84.1 percent on the evening. If Joel Embiid (illness) can't play Saturday versus the Mavericks, Drummond will make for a solid target in daily fantasy leagues.
