Knicks’ Guerschon Yabusele gets $11.275 million contract update after leaving 76ers

We know the full contract details.

Guerschon Yabusele is soon to be a New York Knicks fan favorite.

The sturdy big fella is sneaky athletic and can shoot it from outside, too.

And he's also in town on a bargain contract.

The Athletic's Fred Katz shared the breakdown of the two-year deal:

  • In year one, Yabusele will be paid $5.5 million
  • Year two is a player option; if Yabusele opts in, he'll get $5.775 million

Yabusele will likely become the most important big guy off the bench for the Knicks.

He'll have a chance, potentially, to get some revenge on the 76ers for letting him go, too.

He was once a first-round pick by the Celtics, but floundered and went to Europe. He became a star for Real Madrid and then stood out for France at the 2024 Paris Olympics to make it back to the NBA. 

Now he's with the Knicks, and it could work out to be a great match.
