The Sixers didn’t need another injury, but here we are.
Andre Drummond, starting in place of Joel Embiid, rolled his ankle early in the Sixers’ road matchup with the Detroit Pistons Saturday night. The veteran big man will not return to the game, the team announced.

Around the 8:32 mark of the first quarter, Drummond was able to tip in a Tyrese Maxey missed layup. As Drummond is coming down, his foot lands on former Sixer Tobias Harris’.
