Knicks Sign Yabusele Using Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception

News summary

Free agent center Guerschon Yabusele has agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with the New York Knicks, which includes a player option for the second year. Yabusele had a breakout season with the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 11 points, 5.6 rebounds, shooting 50% from the field and 38% from three-point range. The Knicks are using the taxpayer mid-level exception to add Yabusele, who is expected to strengthen their frontcourt rotation. Yabusele previously played in China and Europe, winning a EuroLeague title with Real Madrid, and impressed for France at the 2024 Paris Olympics. His improved play was praised by teammates and coaches in Philadelphia. The 76ers now face questions at center depth, particularly with Andre Drummond's status uncertain.
