One of the moves made by the New York Knicks at the NBA trade deadline was to send Guerschon Yabusele to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Dellen Terry. The Knicks then sent Terry to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Jose Alvarado. It's been a few weeks since the trade, but Guershon Yabusele still has love for his former Knicks teammates.
After the Knicks game against the Bulls on Sunday, Gershon Yabusele met with some of his Knicks teammates like Josh Hart, Ariel Huckporty, Jordan Clarkson, Mikal Bridges and Mohamed Diawara and Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson.
Yabusele reposted the video shared with his former teammates on social media with the words 'my brothers' and a pair of emojis.
Yabusele was widely touted as a great free agent signing by the Knicks in the offseason, but he was never able to find consistent minutes in the rotation this season, and a trade was always a possibility.
Since the agreement, he has seen an increase in his playing time and role with the Bulls. He has appeared in seven games, including five starts, with just over 25 minutes per game. He averaged 10.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists with splits of 42.4 percent shooting from the field, 43.2 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 72.7 percent shooting from the free-throw line.
Drafted 16th overall in the 2016 NBA draft, Yabusele began his NBA career with the Boston Celtics. He played two seasons with the Celtics before moving overseas. He will return to the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2024–25 season.
