NBA Rumors: Andre Drummond to Sign 76ers Contract Worth over $10M After Bulls Stint

Free agent center Andre Drummond has agreed to a two-year, $10 million plus deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, per Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic.

A hungry Drummond all but confirmed the news.

The 30-year-old Drummond posted 8.4 points and 9.0 rebounds per game in 2023-24, his 12th NBA campaign. His resume includes a pair of All-Star Game appearances and four rebounding titles.

Over eight seasons with the Detroit Pistons, where Drummond began his career, he averaged 14.4 points and 13.9 boards. He then bounced around the NBA from 2020-2022 with stops at the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.

In 2022, the big man signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, who added him to provide depth behind starter Nikola Vučević. Drummond averaged 6.0 points on 60.6 percent shooting and 6.6 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per contest in 67 games off the bench in 2022-23.

He fared even better in 2023-24, and now Drummond is about to embark on his second stint in Philadelphia, which has added more quality frontcourt depth and adept rebounding behind star big man Joel Embiid off the bench.

Drummond and fellow reserve Paul Reed now help give Philadelphia perhaps the NBA's deepest and best center group.
