Drummond finished last season with the Lakers, starting all 21 regular games in which he appeared.
Two-time All-Star center Andre Drummond is signing a one-year deal with the 76ers, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, the deal is for the veteran minimum.
Drummond, 27, finished last season with the Lakers, starting all 21 regular games in which he appeared. He averaged 11.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in 24.8 minutes in the regular season.
In the playoffs, Drummond started each of Los Angeles' first five postseason games. But in Game 6 against the Suns, Drummond was benched and did not appear in the eventual series finale.
Drummond opened last year with the Cavaliers but was bought out mid-season. He spent parts of two seasons with Cleveland after coming over in a trade during the 2019-20 season.
Drummond was the No. 9 pick in the 2012 NBA draft out of UConn by the Pistons. He made two All-Star teams during his tenure with Detroit and has led the league in rebounding four times throughout his career.
In Philadelphia, he would appear to serve as the primary backup to star center Joel Embiid. Dwight Howard, who was Embiid's primary backup last season, has reportedly re-joined the Lakers in free agency.
