Drummond notched his fifth double-double of the season against the Clippers. He continues to be a lifeline for the Sixers on the boards, and remains an effective scorer in the dunker spot. Both off drop offs from driving ball handlers and from offensive rebound chances.

The Sixers will be trying to bounce back against the struggling Clippers, as Paul George could be set to make his season debut.

The game was full of disappointments, as Maxey and VJ Edgecombe struggled with their shooting, Kelly Oubre Jr. left after three minutes with a knee hyperextension and, most importantly, the Sixers lost despite the Pistons resting Cade Cunningham and many of their other top players.

Paul George made his season debut Monday night, starting for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Los Angeles Clippers.

With Joel Embiid already dealing with knee soreness, Andre Drummond is proving to be a necessity for the Sixers.

George totaled nine points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 21 minutes of the 76ers’ 110-108 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
