The Spurs are one of several teams expected to have interest in big man Guerschon Yabusele when he reaches free agency, league sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The 16th overall pick in the 2016 draft, Yabusele came stateside a year later at age 21 but was unable to carve out a rotation role during two seasons in Boston from 2017-19. He returned overseas and honed his game in China, France and Spain for five years before taking another shot at the NBA in 2024, when he signed a one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Sixers. Yabusele’s second go-round in the league has gone much better than the first thus far. He played a more prominent role than expected for a banged-up Philadelphia team and averaged 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 27.1 minutes per game on .501/.380/.725 shooting across 70 outings (43 starts). While the Sixers are reportedly interested in retaining Yabusele, they’ll only hold his Non-Bird rights, so they would need to use their mid-level exception to offer him more than 20% above his minimum. And Philadelphia may only have the $5.7M taxpayer mid-level exception available, depending on how the rest of the club’s offseason plays out. The Spurs could offer Yabusele the opportunity to reunite with fellow Frenchman Victor Wembanyama, his teammate at the Paris Olympics a year ago. With centers Charles Bassey, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Bismack Biyombo all headed for unrestricted free agency, San Antonio will be in the market for frontcourt help this summer and should have the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception ($14.1M) on hand to go free-agent shopping. We ranked Yabusele 26th on our list of the top 50 free agents of 2025 earlier today.
