Guerschon Yabusele has had a major setback in role with Knicks compared to 76ers

Guerschon Yabusele has been a complete non-factor for the New York Knicks

One of the biggest moves the Knicks made this offseason was bringing in Guerschon Yabusele, who last played for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Do you think this will be LeBron James’ final season?

Yabusele was a key piece for the 76ers’ bench and the hope was that he was going to impact games for the Knicks.

However, he has been a complete non-factor thus far. Yabusele played just 10 minutes against the Heat and put up 0 points.

His minutes and points per game have seen a drastic dip this season compared to last season with Philadelphia.

Guerschon Yabusele: Season Comparison

Team / Season	Minutes Per Game (MPG)	Points Per Game (PPG)
Philadelphia 76ers (2024-2025)	27.1	11.0
New York Knicks (2025-2026)	9.7	2.7

The New York Knicks need more from Guerschon Yabusele

The Knicks’ second unit will be an important indicator of their success down the stretch.

The Knicks relied too heavily on their starters last season and that caught up to them in the playoffs where they ended up losing to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Knicks will need more from their bench unit, particularly Yabusele moving forward.

Based on his current averages right now, Yabusele has been a disappointment and hopefully he can turn his season around and earn more minutes.
