Detroit — Throughout much of Andre Drummond’s career, he’s been part of unconventional rosters that buck the league's small-ball trend.
First as a young player with Greg Monroe and now with Blake Griffin, Drummond has teamed with another big man to try and navigate a perimeter-oriented league.
In Year 8, for the second time in the first three games, the shoe will be on the other foot for Drummond on Saturday, as Griffin continues to nurse an injured left leg.
After playing against Indiana’s Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis in Wednesday’s opener, Drummond will try Joel Embiid and Al Horford on for size Saturday as Philadelphia visits Little Caesars Arena.
