While Nikola Vucevic was dealing with a groin injury, Bulls teammate Andre Drummond was reminding everyone why he was a starter for years, as well as an All-Star.

CHARLOTTE, N.C, – Andre Drummond works from a different headspace than most.

He has since coming to the Bulls prior to the 2022 season. With the “Big Penguin,” likely years before that.

Then again, 637 starts in the NBA since stepping into the Association back in 2012 is a tough habit to break for the 6-foot-11 center.

That’s why Drummond has always deemed himself a starter.
