Across the globe, it’s often said that life comes at you fast; as evidenced through Guerschon Yabusele’s basketball journey, one might say that life in the NBA arrives even quicker. Finding a silver-medal swinging from his torso during the Paris Olympics in August, and an NBA basketball swinging his way for the first time in five seasons just weeks later, the French-born forward left October 23, 2024 as one to remember. In search of ways to contribute during the Philadelphia 76ers’ season opener, Yabusele remains patient, passing the ball from one floor’s side to the other, ultimately backpedaling into a pick-and-pop near the right 3-point corner. Taking full advantage of the opportunity to steady himself, Yabusele raises into an accurate 3-pointer, drawing the home crowd’s applause. The early returns for 2017’s former No. 16 pick proved impressive even in defeat, as Yabusele recorded 10 points (on four-of-eight shooting), four rebounds, three assists, three steals, and a 3-pointer against the Milwaukee Bucks. · Oct 23, 2024
