Andre Drummond recalled his Detroit Pistons days while discussing his partnership with 76ers center, Joel Embiid.
center Andre Drummond developed a well-known rivalry with the big man who has put together a Hall of Fame-worthy career at this point.
As a member of the Pistons, Drummond faced Embiid seven times. The former Pistons veteran averaged 15 points and 12 rebounds against Philadelphia. He also garnered a total of eight blocks and 15 steals throughout the years, and made 53 percent of his field goals. Drummond’s time with the Pistons concluded during the 2019-2020 NBA season. Once he went to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the battle between bigs was no longer as relevant. That was especially the case in 2021 when Drummond teamed up with Embiid.
Over the last two years, Drummond competed for the Chicago Bulls. He hit the free agency market this past summer, which led him down a familiar path. For the second time in his career, Drummond has joined the Sixers. Once again, he anticipates a role behind Embiid and plans for every practice to mirror his days as the Pistons’ starting center going against the Sixers’ star.
