Andre Drummond: "I am very happy for Jared McCain. I wish we kept him, obviously, but I think he went to a good situation, a team that is going to help him develop and help him grow. I love the kid to death. Very, very good kid."
Andre Drummond: The first time was in Detroit, when I got traded to Cleveland. I think that was the first time I felt real sadness. I was genuinely sad because I didn’t want to leave. I felt like I had so much more to give to Detroit. Speaker 1: Yeah. I felt like I wanted to do so much more in that state. I wanted to end my career there. I’ve always said it: I wanted to play in Detroit my whole career, and I wanted to win a championship in Detroit. It was hard. It was hard. I cried. Nobody knows this, but I cried. I sat in my car and cried for hours, bro. I was sad, dude. I really wanted to stay. I didn’t want it to end like that, especially after the year we were having. It was just my time. Everybody has a time, so that was my time.
"Who is your GOAT?" Andre Drummond: "My GOAT is Michael Jordan, by default. My mom is a super Michael Jordan fan, so that is who I grew up hearing about all day and all night."
StatMuse: Threes this postseason: 2 — Andre Drummond 1 — Kon Knueppel Kon has played more games too.

Ky Carlin: Andre Drummond after hitting 2 3s tonight, including a dagger one late: “If you would have told Andre Drummond that at 17 years old, playing for Detroit, that he was gonna make a dagger 3. Yeah, I don't think he would believe you.” #Sixers
Tell me about becoming a Creative Director. What was the inspiration behind taking on that kind of role with a brand like Stria Sport, and what does it mean to you personally? Andre Drummond: Honestly, man, it’s a dream come true. Every child that picks up a basketball—or even every kid playing baseball who loves the culture—just wants their own signature shoe. For me, it started with watching my idols. I saw Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant build their own brands and their own worlds. I’d see those sneakers and think, “Damn, I want that to be me one day, too.” It took 14 years of hard work in this league to finally get here. I actually reached out to the team at Stria Sport back in 2021 when I was moving on from Jordan Brand, but at the time, they weren’t quite ready to take on professional athletes. Eric Porter told me to give him a couple of years to build the brand up, and he promised he’d come back with a real proposal. He stayed true to his word. He reached out this past June and asked if I was still a “sneaker free agent.” When he offered me the Creative Director role, equity in the company, and my own signature shoe, it was a no-brainer. This is about ownership, which is bigger than basketball. I’m thinking about my kids; I want them to have a special part of this company that I can hand down to them. It’s an opportunity to use my creative genius for things I’ve always wanted to do, both on and off the court.
Patrick Beverley: You can be 4, it’s ok. You’re probably the only top 10 SG who didn’t shoot 30% from the 3 career wise. You shot 29%. Westbrook who we make names about him shot 31%. Andre Drummond shot 31%…. The game has evolved. James Harden played against better players than you played against. That’s also a fact. James has never missed a playoffs, you missed the playoffs multiple times. That is also a fact. You did it in the East. James had to run into the same team that was getting LeBron ass up out of there
Andre Drummond, the former University of Connecticut star and current member of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, has said on social media that he intends to buy the Metro Movies theater in downtown Middletown. Drummond, who is a former Middletown resident, posted on his public Facebook page on March 21 "about to purchase metro movie theater in Middletown." The theater closed abruptly at the start of 2026.
In his post, Drummond asked his followers "what do y'all see it become" and asked them to post their ideas in the comments. As of Tuesday at noon, more than 230 people had commented, with many comments suggesting either reopening the movie theater, some kind of other business or a recreational facility for the city's young people to use. When one suggested converting the former movie theater into a basketball complex, Drummond said "that was my first idea, but I wanted the opinion of the community."
