“My main goal is to stay in the NBA for sure,” Yabusele said per Bulls insider K.C. Johnson<\/a>, making his intentions clear ahead of the upcoming free agency period.<\/p>\n

With the Bulls’ season winding down, the French forward is preparing to enter the market for the second summer in a row, this time under slightly different circumstances.<\/p>\n

Yabusele’s first NBA return came with the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, where he posted impressive numbers: 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 38% from three-point range after five years away from the league. That performance sparked talk of him as a comeback player.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, following stints with the New York Knicks<\/a> and the Bulls, questions about his role resurfaced. With the Knicks, Yabusele struggled for minutes, averaging just 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Since joining the Bulls, he has regained form, posting 10.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n
