Report: 76ers, France standout Yabusele agree to 1-year deal
The Philadelphia 76ers and France standout Guerschon Yabusele agreed to a one-year, $2.1-million minimum deal, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Yabusele is reportedly resolving his $2.5-million contract buyout with Real Madrid, which would allow him to leave the Spanish club and return to the NBA, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports.
The 2016 first-round pick drew interest from multiple teams following a strong performance at the Olympics, according to Charania.
Yabusele was a key cog in France's silver-medal finish, averaging 14 points and 3.3 boards. The 6-foot-8 forward tallied 22 points in an upset win over Canada in the quarterfinals and 20 points in the gold-medal game versus the United States. His efforts earned him a spot on the tournament's All-Second Team.
Yabusele's last NBA stint was relatively uneventful as he averaged just 2.3 points and 6.6 minutes across 74 appearances for the Boston Celtics. He remade his career overseas, earning All-Star honors in the Chinese Basketball Association and winning a EuroLeague championship.
