Guerschon Yabusele<\/a> is \u201cexcited\u201d to see how his free agency plays out and plans to remain in the NBA, he told Cyro Asseo de Choch of Hoops Hype<\/a>. The Sixers big man was one of the few bright spots for the franchise this season after playing in Europe from 2020-24. He posted averages of 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 27.1 minutes per game while appearing in 70 contests.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be an unrestricted free agent after playing for the veteran\u2019s minimum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will see those options also with the upcoming summer when we\u2019re going to know a little bit what\u2019s going on,\u201d he said. \u201cI know the Sixers are going to look change some pieces in the roster, so you have to wait also to see what\u2019s gonna happen but the draft\u2019s gonna set everything pretty much for every team to know where they\u2019re going with the trades and stuff like that. I guess we\u2019ll see soon but I\u2019m pretty excited. It\u2019s going to be my first time really enjoying free agency, especially in the NBA. I\u2019m pretty excited just to hear the offers, to see what\u2019s going on, to see the movement. This summer is going to have a lot of movement on every team, so to be able to be part of that is just amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
