Guerschon Yabusele may be headed for a new team in the NBA after winning the hearts of fans at the Philadelphia 76ers.
According to a joint report by Jake Fischer and Marc Stein, the 76ers are facing a challenging situation regarding the re-signing of the 29-year-old center.
Having initially signed a one-year contract with Philadelphia, the French international is preparing to enter free agency as he embarks on his second stint in the NBA before the 2024-25 season. While he aims to remain in the league and the Sixers reportedly wish to retain him, logistical complications may lead him to join another team.
Yabusele made a noteworthy return to the NBA following his triumph as a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague champion with Real Madrid in 2023. Throughout 70 games in the 2024-25 regular season, he averaged 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.3 blocks, including 43 starts. Previously, he had a less prominent role with the Boston Celtics, playing 90 games during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons after being selected 16th overall in the 2016 draft.
In addition to the uncertainty regarding his NBA career, Yabusele plans to represent France in EuroBasket 2025. If all goes well, he will further enhance his impressive international career by joining the team led by Frederic Fauthoux in Group D of the preliminary round held in Katowice, aiming to secure a spot in the tournament’s knockout stage in Riga.
