Final 2025-26 Philadelphia 76ers player grades: Andre Drummond

The 2025-26 season is in the books for the Philadelphia 76ers, which means it is the time to look back on the season that was for each player. The Sixers finished 45-37 and as the No. 7 seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs before upsetting the Boston Celtics in Round 1 and falling to the New York Knicks in Round 2. They had to battle through a tough season injury-wise, but there were some good moments for everybody on the roster.

Up next in this series is big man Andre Drummond who played in 63 games in the season. He was able to provide some good minutes behind Joel Embiid and give him a break while also being available to start 25 of the 63 games he played. The 14-year veteran also advanced in the playoffs for the first time in his career so there were some good moments for him.

Here is a review of Drummond's season in 2025-26:

Drummond's season in review

The best part about Drummond's season was the fact that he added to it. That's rare for somebody in their 14th season in the league, but the big man out of UConn found a way to do it. He took 1.4 3s per game on the season and was able to knock down the corner 3 at a 38% clip on the season. He appeared to have lost a step on the defensive end, but his size certainly made a difference on that end and he rebounded the ball well in his minutes on the season with a season-high 24 rebounds coming in a Nov. 23 loss to the Miami Heat.

Drummond only averaged 3.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in the playoffs, but he was able to give the Sixers some solid minutes, including starting Game 2 against the Knicks when Embiid was out. He was a great mentor for Adem Bona and the other youngsters on the roster and a great teammate to have in the locker room.

Final grade

Overall, Drummond did what the Sixers asked of him. He attacked the glass, provided minutes when they needed it behind Embiid, gave mentorship to Bona, and was a great teammate. Add in the 3-point development in his game, and this was a solid season for Drummond. One has to wonder if the Sixers will have interest in bringing him back in free agency.
