Andre Drummond Viral Post Signing Philadelphia 76ers

NBA star Andre Drummond signs with the Philadelphia 76ers, returning to the team for his second stint in the city.

Andre Drummond, a seasoned NBA player with 12 seasons under his belt, recently made headlines with his decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers. Drummond, who had spent the past two years with the Chicago Bulls, put up solid numbers in the previous season, averaging 8.4 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 55.6% from the field.

The news of Drummond's move to Philadelphia was first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Drummond himself took to social media to tease his fans, expressing his craving for a Philly cheesesteak in a post that quickly garnered over 25,000 likes and 2.1 million impressions.

This will mark Drummond's second stint with the 76ers, having previously played for the team during the 2021-22 season. In his brief tenure, he put up solid numbers, averaging 6.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 53.8% from the field. Drummond's addition to the roster is seen as a valuable asset, providing backup support for 2023 MVP Joel Embiid.

The 76ers, led by Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, are looking to build on their performance from the previous season, where they secured the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference with a 47-35 record. Despite their efforts, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the New York Knicks in a six-game series.

Drummond's career has seen him play for several teams, including the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and now the Bulls and 76ers. Throughout his career, he has maintained impressive averages of 12.7 points, 12.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 54.3% from the field across 864 games. With his experience and skill set, Drummond is poised to make a significant impact on the Philadelphia 76ers as they strive for success in the upcoming season.
