Andre Drummond Likely Out vs. Pelicans

Andre Drummond of the Philadelphia 76ers is struggling with a sprained left toe, which has already caused him to miss two games and is likely to result in a third absence against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Drummond was also out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, leaving Guerschon Yabusele to play significant minutes at center due to Joel Embiid's absence. The Wizards are also dealing with injuries, including key player Jordan Poole who missed the game against the 76ers due to a hip contusion. Despite both teams being shorthanded, the 76ers had a good opportunity to win against the Wizards, who hold the worst record in the Eastern Conference.
