Sixers' Andre Drummond reacts to drilling dagger 3 in win over Magic

PHILADELPHIA -- When one looks at the career of Philadelphia 76ers big man Andre Drummond, they will see a rough and tough player who is one of the better rebounders the game has ever seen. He has led the league in rebounding four times in his career and is a 2-time All-Star while being named All-NBA Third team in 2016. Now, in 2026, Drummond can add corner 3-point specialist to his resume.

Drummond made 28 total 3-pointers in his first 13 years in the league. He made 32 in the 2025-26 season, alone. He made two triples in Wednesday's play-in tournament win over the Orlando Magic , including a dagger 3 from the corner late that sent Xfinity Mobile Arena into a frenzy as Philadelphia advanced to the playoffs.

"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," laughed Drummond after the win. "But a lot of work that I put into it.

Not even just this year, but throughout my entire career. I worked countless hours in the summertime to prepare for moments like this, and the work is shown. Shout out to Nick Nurse for giving me the green light to shoot those shots.
