The Philadelphia 76ers and Guerschon Yabusele are in serious talks on a contract. Yabusele has a $2.5 million contract buyout with Real Madrid. Philadelphia can cover up to $850,000 of that buyout this season. The 76ers can offer Yabusele only a veteran minimum contract for this season of approximately $2.1 million.


After excelling for France as the 2024 Paris Olympics, Yabusele was clear that he'd like another shot at the NBA. The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 14 points on 51.9% while helping France to the silver medal.


Last season in 64 games across all competition for Real Madrid, Yabusele averaged 9.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. He shot 53.1% from the field and 44.5% on three-pointers.


Yabusele hasn't appeared in an NBA game since he was waived by the Boston Celtics in 2019. Boston waived the former 16th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft after 74 appearances over two NBA seasons.

Does Philadelphia bring Lowry and Jackson off the bench? Who is starting with Maxey, Martin, George, and Embiid? It seems like their rotation would be more balanced if they start Lowry, but they are probably a better starting unit if they start Yabusele or Oubre.
