Guerschon Yabusele DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele is looking forward to free agency and has his mind set on staying in the NBA. "Oh, no, 100 percent," Yabusele said in an interview with HoopsHype. "I made it clear. I really, really want to stay in the NBA, now that I have a real reason over there I want to do some more." As a youngster, Yabusele had an underwhelming stint with the Boston Celtics and left the Association in 2019. Following an impressive tournament at the Paris Olympics, he returned to the NBA for the 2024-25 season and played well. Yabusele averaged 11.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 27.1 minutes for the injury-plagued 76ers. The Frenchman was on a one-year, $2.1 million contract in 2024-25 and will surely seek a much better deal as a free agent this offseason.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele made a huge impression during the 2024 Olympics, which turned into a contract offer from Daryl Morey and the Sixers' front office. In his first season back in the NBA since 2018-19, Yabusele delivered with averages of 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.5 threes per game. He played a solid complementary game to Joel Embiid when he was able to play, and filled a backup role that the team sorely missed. In a press conference, Daryl Morey said that they loved what Yabusele brought to the team and they would like to retain him this offseason.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is experiencing some soreness in his right knee and has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man from France already missed the last two games, and it wouldn't be surprising if the team decided to hold him out of their last game on Sunday as well. Adem Bona should get the starting nod at center again, while Colin Castleton should remain the backup big, even if Alex Reese (Achilles) does play. Bona has played well to end the season, to the tune of 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game through five games in April.
