The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up for a crucial offseason after a disappointing 2024-25 season, marred by injuries. With the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft, the Sixers aim to rebuild, particularly focusing on retaining key free agents.

One significant player is Andre Drummond, who holds a player option worth $5 million for the 2025-26 season. Despite a down year where he averaged 7.3 points and 7.8 rebounds, the Sixers' management, led by Daryl Morey, anticipates Drummond’s return. His presence is pivotal for both on-court performance and as a mentor to younger players, including Adem Bona.
