NEW YORK — Expect to see a lot of Andre Drummond on the court this season – provided he’s in good enough shape to play the minutes Nets coach Steve Nash wants to give him.
Heading into Thursday's game against the Wizards, Drummond has been a rebounding machine in his few appearances as a Net since landing in Brooklyn as part of the James Harden trade, and his presence alone has helped a Nets team that has struggled on the glass this season.
As a result, Nash wants to play Drummond a significant number of minutes at the center position for the remainder of the season — which will take some getting used to for the big man who played most of this season as Joel Embiid’s backup on the 76ers.
