Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Agrees to deal with New York
Rotowire
Yabusele (knee) agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with the Knicks on Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The deal includes a player option for the second season. The 76ers wanted to retain Yabusele after his breakout season in 2024-25, but the big man had a considerable market. During the 2024-25 regular season, Yabusele averaged 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 50.1 percent from the field and 38.0 percent from beyond the arc. He could become a key member of the second unit in New York.

76ers' Guerschon Yabusele: Listed as out for personal reasons
Rotowire
Yabusele is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards for personal reasons.
Yabusele's next chance to rejoin the 76ers arrives Friday against the Hawks, and his absence Wednesday should keep Adem Bona in a prominent role at center. Bona has averaged 12.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 1.3 steals in 28.0 minutes while shooting 69.5 percent from the field over his last 12 games, so he should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

76ers' Guerschon Yabusele: Stuffs stat sheet Friday
Rotowire
Yabusele notched 23 points (11-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 128-120 loss to the Spurs.
Yabusele finished just one rebound shy of a double-double, and the Frenchman continues to show he can impact the game on both ends of the court when given enough minutes. The season-ending injury of Joel Embiid (knee) has allowed Yabusele to hold on to a steady role in the rotation, and he's been making the most of it. He's started in his last nine appearances, averaging a solid line of 10.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals across 29.4 minutes per game over that span.

76ers' Guerschon Yabusele: Supplies 18 points in loss
Rotowire
Yabusele totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 126-112 loss to the Timberwolves.
Making his second straight start, Yabusele produced much better numbers than he did Monday against Portland, when he managed only nine points and three boards in 35 minutes. Philly is still trying to figure out its frontcourt with Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out for the rest of the season, but Yabusele should have a significant role, whether he's in the starting five or on the second unit. Over the first three games in March, the 29-year-old is averaging 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.7 threes in 32.7 minutes a contest.

Yabusele amassed 18 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 126-119 victory over the Warriors.
The Sixers are going with a starting frontcourt of Andre Drummond, Paul George and Kelly Oubre for now with Joel Embiid (knee) shut down for the rest of the season, but Yabusele saw a significant workload on the second unit in his return from a one-game absence due to an eye abrasion. The 29-year-old big tied his season high with five made three-pointers, while the five assists represented his best performance in that category since Jan. 15.
