The 2 time All-Star played last season for both the Cavaliers and the Lakers. Used primarily as a starter, Drummond averaged 14.9 PPG, and 12 RPG in a little over 27 minutes. Its an interesting move as both Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond have gotten into it on the court in the past.
This comes on the heels of the news that the Sixers will waive George Hill
