Yabusele was outstanding during France’s run to the silver medal in Paris, and his play has sparked some discussions regarding a potential return to the NBA. The 2016 first-round pick said after Saturday’s loss to the United States that he has “been waiting for my second chance, I’m ready.” The issue regarding a return for the 2024-25 season: Yabusele’s contract buyout with Real Madrid. On July 15, that figure increased from $1 million to $2.5 million, and that doesn’t even take into consideration potential salary demands. Yabusele will be a free agent next summer, which may be a more realistic time for the former Celtic to return stateside.
