Drummond’s scoring outburst not enough to lift Sixers over Pistons in second night of back-to-back

Despite the schedule, it still sucks to lose the Andre Drummond two three-pointers made game.

The Sixers wrapped up their throwback weekend with an 111-108 loss to the Detroit Pistons Sunday night.

Tyrese Maxey didn’t have his most efficient night, but still managed to drop 33 to lead all scorers, shooting 10-of-26 from the field along with seven assists. VJ Edgecombe once again had some big baskets amidst a night of struggles, he finished with 11 points on 3-of-9 shooting along with six rebounds, two assists, and five turnovers.

Andre Drummond got his first start of the season and went for 17 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 6-of-9 from the field and 2-of-4 from behind the three-point line. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with 24.

In only 8:51 of action, Jared McCain went scoreless again, going 0-of-3 from the floor with an assist and a steal. Joel Embiid missed this second part of the back-to-back with left knee injury management.

Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
