The Philadelphia 76ers are in serious talks with French power forward Guerschon Yabusele, according to league sources. Philadelphia is interested in signing the Olympic silver medalist after he averaged 14 points while representing his home country at the 2024 Games in Paris.
Yabusele is resolving his $2.5 million contract buyout with Real Madrid as he nears a return to the NBA. To resolve his buyout with Real Madrid, the 76ers would pay a maximum of $850,000, per league rules. The rest of the amount, roughly $1.6 million, would be resolved by Yabusele and Real Madrid.
The 28-year-old played for the Boston Celtics from 2017-19 after the team selected him with the 16th pick of the 2016 NBA Draft.
