The San Antonio Spurs have missed out on Kevin Durant, but that won’t stop them from bolstering their frontcourt depth this summer.

According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the San Antonio Spurs are reportedly interested in signing soon-to-be free agent Guerschon Yabusele, who spent his 2024-25 campaign with the Philadelphia 76ers and played with Victor Wembanyama on the French national team during the Paris Olympics.

“Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele made a triumphant return to the NBA, averaging 11 points on 50.1 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent beyond the arc while grabbing 5.6 rebounds in 27.1 minutes per game,” Scotto stated.
