Drummond won't start against the Bucks on Tuesday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
With Joel Embiid (knee) back in action, Drummond will slide to the second unit. The veteran big man is a viable streaming option whenever Embiid is unavailable, though the latter has recorded a DNP-CD in four straight games with Embiid in the lineup, meaning Drummond isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time Tuesday.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Grabs nine boards in garbage time
Rotowire
Drummond ended Wednesday's 133-107 loss to Cleveland with seven points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and nine rebounds across 12 minutes.
Though he didn't check into the game until the start of the fourth quarter when the 76ers were trailing by 18 points, Drummond still finished with a team-high rebound total. With Joel Embiid relatively healthy at the moment and Adem Bona serving as the 76ers' No. 2 center in both of the past two games, Drummond looks as though he could find himself outside of the rotation more often than not. He'll make for an appealing streaming option for rebounds anytime Embiid sits out, however.
Drummond isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Drummond drew the start Sunday with Joel Embiid (knee) unavailable, but the UConn product failed to score and grabbed five rebounds in 20 minutes of run. He'll retreat to the bench Monday after Embiid was cleared for action.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Drops out of rotation
Rotowire
Drummond (coach's decision) didn't see any playing time in Tuesday's 139-136 overtime win over the Grizzlies.
With Joel Embiid (ankle/illness) back in action following a one-game absence, Drummond ended up being the odd man out of the Philadelphia frontcourt rotation. Head coach Nick Nurse opted to keep Adem Bona (26 minutes) in the fold as Embiid's top backup, leaving no playing time available for Drummond. The 32-year-old had been trending down before exiting the rotation, as Drummond had averaged 6.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.0 minutes per game while shooting just 45.9 percent from the field over his first 11 appearances of December.

Although Drummond got the start for Joel Embiid (ankle), he wasn't able to find much success Monday. Meanwhile, Adem Bona put together one of his best lines of the season. Although Drummond has been far better than Bona for most of the season, this could be a position battle to watch.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Double-double off bench
Rotowire
Drummond closed Tuesday's 114-106 loss to Brooklyn with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT) and 13 rebounds across 17 minutes.
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.

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.

Drummond provided five points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Hawks.
Drummond's production has been hit-or-miss this season, but he continues to find ways to impact the stat sheet, even with the 76ers getting healthy. Joel Embiid is playing well, so Drummond will take a back seat some nights, but he's always worth a look when Embiid is resting or sidelined for a few games.

Drummond led Philly on the glass despite logging only 18 minutes off the bench Sunday night. This marks his second double-double through four December appearances.
