French Olympian Guerschon Yabusele has agreed to a one-year, $2.1 million contract to return to the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The 28-year-old shone for France in their bid for an Olympic silver medal earlier this month, turning heads with strong performances against the likes of Canada, Germany and the United States.
Standing at 6’4″, 260 lbs, Yabusele’s hard-hitting style and ultra-efficient shooting proved to be pillars of his game in Paris, and he’s getting another NBA opportunity.
The 16th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Yabusele spent two seasons with the Celtics before being released and signing a contract in China.
He returned to Europe the following year, joining French team ASVEL before moving to powerful Spanish club Real Madrid, where he spent three seasons and won a Euroleague title in 2023.
The addition of Yabusele caps the 76ers’ offseason overhaul with Paul George, Caleb Martin, Jared McCain, Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon all joining the team and Kyle Lowry and Kelly Oubre returning.
