Guerschon Yabusele Agrees To Three-Year Deal With Panathinaikos

Following a five-year absence from the NBA, Yabusele had a strong return with the Sixers in 2024/25, then signed a two-year deal with the Knicks last summer.

Yabusele had a disappointing and abbreviated stint with the Knicks. He appeared in 41 games off the bench but only averaged 8.9 minutes in those contests. He declined his 2026/27 player option in February to help facilitate a trade from the Knicks to the Bulls.

In Chicago, Yabusele got extensive playing time for a team more concerned with the draft lottery than piling up wins. He started 19 of 26 games and averaged 10.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per contest.

Yabusele expressed a desire to stay in the NBA but drew much more interest overseas. In his last three seasons in Europe from 2021-24, Yabusele played for Real Madrid.
