Announced for several days, the arrival of French basketball player Guerschon Yabusele at the Philadelphia 76ers was made official by the franchise on Thursday, August 29, 2024. The 28-year-old power forward, who played for Real Madrid for the past three seasons, is making his return to the NBA, the North American championship, where he played very briefly between 2016 and 2019 with the Boston Celtics. Guerschon Yabusele won a silver medal with France at the 2024 Olympics. Having had a great tournament, he notably distinguished himself by signing a huge dunk on American legend LeBron James in the final, “posterizing” his opponent in the process. With the Sixers, Yabusele will wear number 28. According to his agent Olivier Mazet, the Frenchman signed “a guaranteed one-season contract” worth $2.1 million (around €1.9 million). “That will give him the option of then being able to extend with the Sixers or commit to another team,” he added.
