The Philadelphia 76ers concluded the 2024-25 season with a disappointing end, suffering a loss against the Chicago Bulls. The team had high expectations but faced a plethora of issues, notably injuries that plagued key players, including Andre Drummond, who played only 40 games, averaging 7.3 points and 7.8 rebounds. Drummond expressed optimism about a stronger 2025-26 season, emphasizing the importance of health and team chemistry after the Sixers used 54 different starting lineups throughout the season.

As Drummond weighs a $5 million player option for the upcoming season, he remains committed to returning to Philadelphia. He believes the team has the talent to compete at the highest level, asserting that he wants to contribute significantly to their success. It’s clear that the Sixers are looking for substantial changes this offseason to break the cycle of disappointment and reestablish themselves as contenders.
