This will be Drummond's second stint with Philadelphia, as he briefly played for the franchise during the 2021-22 season (49 games).

He averaged 6.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 53.8% from the field for the 76ers.

Drummond is an ideal backup for 2023 MVP Joel Embiid.

The 76ers have a talented roster that is led by Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

They are coming off a season where they were the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference with a 47-35 record.

However, the 76ers lost to the New York Knicks in the first round of the NBA playoffs (six games).
