Guerschon Yabusele News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers | FOX Sports

Struggles in starting role Yabusele totaled eight points (3-7 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to Boston.

Impact Yabusele moved into the starting lineup with Philadelphia opting to rest the majority of their roster. Following an encouraging performance in the preseason opener, Yabusele failed to make the most of the opportunity Saturday. When the team is healthy, he is likely to slot in as the third-string center behind Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond, making him a non-factor in standard formats.

Goes perfect from field Monday Yabusele produced 15 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 139-84 preseason win over the NBL Breakers.

Impact The 28-year-old slotted in as the backup center behind Andre Drummond with Joel Embiid (rest) sitting out. In his limited run, Yabusele was able to tie Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain and Reggie Jackson with a team-high 15 points.
