Dominant 2025-26 Season Stats
In the 2025-26 season, Andre Drummond has been a rebounding machine for the 76ers, tying for 10th in the NBA with 9.6 rebounds per game. His scoring has ticked up to 7.5 points on 52.8% shooting, with 1.0 assists and blocks adding defensive value in about 19 minutes per contest.
Splits reveal his reliability: in wins, he averages 6.3 points and excels on the glass, while December games show 6.6 points and 5.4 rebounds. Against tough foes like the Clippers and Miami, he's posted double-digit points and double-digit rebounds, proving his matchup versatility.
Fantasy managers note his 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals across 40 games, though increased frontcourt depth with rookies like Adem Bona could limit minutes. Still, his efficiency makes him a steady option.
Career-High Dagger 3 Over Karl-Anthony Towns
Drummond's recent career-high three-pointer over Karl-Anthony Towns was a game-changer, drilling his first three triples of the matchup for a personal best. This shot not only boosted Philly's momentum but highlighted his expanded range, hitting 100% from deep in preseason glimpses too.
Paired with perfect free throws, his true shooting soared to 84.1%, making him a daily fantasy gem if Joel Embiid misses time, like the upcoming Mavericks clash. This evolution from rebound-focused to shooter addresses past critiques of his perimeter game.
Role with 76ers and Future Outlook
Exercising his $5M player option, Drummond returns for a second Philly stint as depth behind Embiid, starting 23 games last year due to injuries. With the team at 16-11, his bench energy has been crucial, especially versus Eastern Conference rivals like Boston and New York.
Challenges loom with younger centers like Bona gaining traction, potentially crowding minutes. Yet Drummond's veteran presence, blocks, and steals (1.0 per game average) keep him relevant. As the 76ers push for playoffs, his recent heroics signal bigger contributions ahead.
