The Philadelphia 76ers are exploring trade options for veteran center Andre Drummond, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic, who reported Tuesday that the team “has been trying to move him over the last 24 hours.”
Drummond, who exercised his $5 million player option for the 2025–26 season, is now at the center of trade discussions as the franchise enters a crucial offseason following a 24–58 campaign.
The 31-year-old played in 40 games last season, starting 23 of them, and averaged 7.3 points and 7.8 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per contest.
While his playing time diminished, Drummond remained efficient on the glass, collecting 2.7 offensive boards and 5.0 defensive rebounds per game.
Philadelphia, which ranked 25th in total rebounding and 28th in second-chance points, initially appeared to retain Drummond for depth behind rookie additions V.J. Edgecombe and Johni Broome.
But the team’s front office appears intent on creating roster flexibility as it prioritizes long-term development and internal growth.
Drummond, a two-time All-Star and four-time rebounding champion, has now played for seven different teams across 13 NBA seasons.
He has developed into a productive reserve in recent years, particularly valued for his rebounding rate and interior defense.
Despite limited scoring output, his veteran presence and low-cost contract could appeal to playoff teams in need of frontcourt depth.
Drummond’s career averages stand at 12.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game.
