Andre Drummond says he “lost about 10 to 15 pounds” during his time away from the court

Andre Drummond will start for the Lakers in his debut with the new team on Wednesday against Bucks.

Per ESPN, “I think the level of excitement for me is at an all-time high,” Drummond told reporters Tuesday over a videoconference call following his first full practice with the team since agreeing to terms over the weekend.

It will be Drummond’s first game action since Feb. 12.

Drummond told the Mason & Ireland Show on ESPN 710 Los Angeles on Monday that he “lost about 10 to 15 pounds” during his time away from the court, adding, “right now, I’m probably in the best shape I can be in.”
