The Philadelphia 76ers have signed 2024 Olympic silver medalist Guerschon Yabusele.

Yabusele comes to Philadelphia after representing his home country, France, in an impressive Olympic campaign that culminated in a silver medal. Appearing in each of Les Bleus’ six games, Yabusele averaged 14.0 points (second on the team) and 3.3 rebounds, while shooting 51.9-percent from the field. Following the conclusion of the tournament, he was named to the All-Second Team.

Yabusele spent the last three seasons playing in Spain for Real Madrid, helping lead the team to two Liga ACB championships (2022, 2024) and a Euroleague title (2023). This past season, he played in 64 games (35 starts) across ACB and Euroleague, averaging 9.7 points (53.1 FG%, 44.5 3P%, 81.3 FT%) and 4.0 rebounds per game. In addition to Real Madrid, Yabusele has played in France (ASVEL Basket, Rouen Métropole Basket, Chorale Roanne Basket), the United States (Boston Celtics), and China (Nanjing Monkey Kings, Shanghai Sharks), dating back to his professional debut in 2013.

In 2016, Yabusele was selected by Boston with the No. 16 overall pick in the draft, eventually signing with the team in 2017, following an All-Star season in the CBA with Shanghai. He spent two seasons with the Celtics (2017-19), appearing in 74 games. He also suited up for 17 games (15 starts) with Boston’s G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, between 2016-19.

Yabusele will wear No. 28 for the 76ers.
