The Philadelphia 76ers made their early move in free agency on Sunday evening when they agreed to terms on a 2-year deal with big man Andre Drummond. The former 2-time All-Star played for the Sixers in the 2021-22 season before being sent to the Brooklyn Nets.
In two seasons with the Chicago Bulls, Drummond averaged 7.3 points and 7.9 rebounds while being one of the elite rebounders in the NBA. He had a rebounding percentage of 29.3% in the 2023-24 season as he will fill a huge need for the Sixers on the glass.
After agreeing to the deal to return to the Sixers, Drummond took to Twitter to give his reaction to heading back to Philadelphia.

The Drummond addition is going to be a luxury for the Sixers when Embiid is able to play, but he will be a must-have for Philadelphia when the big fella misses games. He will also be helpful in the playoffs when it comes down to grabbing critical rebounds.
