Yabusele, on why he rejected staying with the Sixers: "Their offer was very, very low"
The player signed with the Knicks in free agency when it seemed like he was going to stay in Philly
At the beginning of the 2025 NBA Free Agency, one of the surprises that occurred was the signing of Guerschon Yabusele by the New York Knicks. The former Philadelphia 76ers player seemed poised to re-sign with the Pennsylvania franchise, but ultimately chose the Big Apple.
Yabusele's deal with the Knicks was for 12 million dollars spread over 2 seasons. Now, in an interview with SKWEEK TV, the player explains the reason he left the Sixers.
"Leaving Philadelphia wasn't a major decision. I thought, 'Oh, I could come back.' I had no issue there to want to leave, no. I thought, 'Okay, if they want to re-sign me and offer something good, I'll come back, no doubt. And if they want me to go, then I'll go,'" he begins.
"I had no hard feelings and didn't have a bad time. But they hardly made me an offer. They did, but it was very, very low, to be honest. So I thought, 'Oh man, guys, it seems like you don't want me to stay, more or less.' So it was a tough situation," Yabusele added.
