Veteran NBA center Andre Drummond is heading to the New York Knicks, agreeing to a one-year contract worth $3.9 million, according to reports that surfaced Friday.
The 32-year-old Drummond, who will turn 33 next month, is set to take over for Mitchell Robinson, a dependable defender who spent eight years in New York and was a key contributor to the squad that claimed the 2026 NBA Finals title.
Drummond brings considerable experience to the Knicks, having suited up for six different franchises across 14 NBA seasons. He spent the first seven and a half years of his career with the Detroit Pistons before moving on to five other teams throughout the league.
Most recently, Drummond played for the Philadelphia 76ers, where he averaged 6.4 points and 8.4 rebounds over 63 games last season, including 25 starts.
For his career, the two-time All-Star has posted averages of 12.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 1.2 blocked shots across 967 games, with 688 starts. His 1,197 career blocked shots place him eighth among currently active NBA players.
