Andre Drummond Ruled Out for Christmas Day

Andre Drummond of the Philadelphia 76ers has been ruled out for the Christmas Day game against the Boston Celtics due to a left big toe contusion that has affected him since December 23. His absence will impact the team's rebounding strength, as he averages 6.9 points and 8 rebounds per game, often ranking among the top centers in rebounds. The 76ers are also facing uncertainty regarding the availability of other players, including Alvin Kamara and David Njoku, who have not practiced and are likely to miss upcoming games. Kamara is expected to be out for a second consecutive game, while Njoku has also been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, players like Hayden Hurst and Will Dissly are listed as questionable for Week 17. The 76ers will rely on Joel Embiid and Guerschon Yabusele to fill the void left by Drummond's injury.
