| Mon Mar 30 | 19:14 | Guerschon Yabusele is Active on Monday |
Chicago Bulls forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Yabusele is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to a left ankle injury. He should continue to see a larger role in the rotation with Nick Richards (elbow) still sidelined. He figures to see 20-plus minutes in the rotation with the Bulls shorthanded at the center spot. He's worth a look in deep leagues and as a possible cheap DFS option for Monday's slate. |

| Sat Mar 28 | 19:36 | Guerschon Yabusele is Absent on Saturday |
Chicago Bulls forward Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Yabusele drew the start on Friday with Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable. Now, both big men are sitting out for Saturday's contest, which puts the Bulls in a bad spot. Possibly, Lachlan Olbrich draws the start, but Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller should absorb most of the extra playing time. Miller is bringing enough to the table right now to warrant a look as a streaming option on Saturday. |

| Fri Mar 27 | 19:13 | Guerschon Yabusele is Available to Play |
Chicago Bulls center Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yabusele missed Monday's game due to a left ankle sprain, but was able to play on Wednesday. He finished with 11 points and four rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's contest. He figures to play a slightly larger role with fellow big man Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable for Friday's game. Patrick Williams should also benefit in terms of playing time, but Yabusele has more upside in terms of fantasy value. |

| Thu Mar 12 | 21:40 | Guerschon Yabusele Unavailable Thursday Night |
Chicago Bulls forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (foot) will miss Thursday's encounter with the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been ruled out for the contest after being downgraded to doubtful on the injury report earlier on Thursday. Meanwhile, Jalen Smith (calf) has been cleared to play and will anchor the frontcourt with Nick Richards. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has already announced that Smith is likely to be held out of Friday's matchup with the Clippers, which would allow Yabusele to take on a significant role again if he's ready to return. |

| Mon Feb 9 | 19:20 | Jalen Smith Out Monday, Guerschon Yabusele to Start |
Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) will miss Monday's game against Brooklyn, marking his second straight absence as he continues to recover from a right calf strain. With Nikola Vucevic traded, Smith still carries long-term hold value, even as his injury shuffles Chicago's center short-term. Guerschon Yabusele is the primary beneficiary and profiles as a viable streamer. He started Saturday against Denver and logged 26 minutes with 12 points, four 3-pointers, two rebounds, one steal, and two blocks. Nick Richards remains a deeper option, while Yabusele offers short-term value in points, triples, and defensive stats. |

| Thu Feb 5 | 08:29 | Guerschon Yabusele Joins Bulls |
The Chicago Bulls have acquired forward/center Guerschon Yabusele from the New York Knicks in exchange for forward Dalen Terry, SNY's Alex Smith reports. Sources have told SNY's Ian Begley that the Bulls plan to keep Yabusele and see how he fits with the team's guards. After a good comeback campaign in the NBA with Philadelphia in 2024-25, Yabusele had a frustrating time in New York. He was limited to 8.9 minutes per game, averaging 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds. The Frenchman should have a larger role in the Bulls' frontcourt after the team traded Nikola Vucevic to Boston, at least until Zach Collins (toe) returns to the rotation. However, Yabusele still won't offer much fantasy value as Jalen Smith's backup. |

| Thu Dec 25 2025 | 08:18 | Guerschon Yabusele Questionable for Christmas Action |
New York Knicks forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (illness) may miss Thursday's Christmas matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The bulky Frenchman is battling an illness and has already sat out two games. Even if Yabusele shakes off the questionable tag, he likely won't have a big role in the rotation. His tenure in New York has been disappointing, with Yabusele averaging just 9.6 minutes per game across 26 appearances. Recent reports suggest that the Knicks are considering trading him before the February deadline, leaving Yabusele's future with the team in doubt. |

New York Knicks forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will be in the lineup on Friday against the Chicago Bulls, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. However, it's unclear how involved he will be in the rotation, as Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will make his season debut in a starting role and won't have a minutes restriction. In his prior three outings this season, Yabusele has logged 13.7 minutes per game. He has averaged 4.0 rebounds, but the Frenchman has been a non-factor offensively, putting up 1.7 points per outing. |

| Thu Oct 30 2025 | 21:07 | Guerschon Yabusele Likely to Return Friday |
New York Knicks forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is likely to rejoin the action on Friday night, as the team has listed him as probable for a meeting with the Chicago Bulls. Due to a left knee sprain, Yabusele was unable to play in Tuesday's affair against the Milwaukee Bucks. Compared to his time in Philadelphia last year, Yabusele's fantasy value has significantly dropped, as he's averaged only 1.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.7 minutes. On Friday, the Knicks could have Mitchell Robinson (ankle) in the lineup for the first time this season, which might be a new blow for Yabusele and his fantasy stock. |

New York Knicks forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will miss Tuesday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ahead of tip-off, he has been downgraded from questionable to out. Yabusele is dealing with a knee sprain, which may keep him sidelined for more than one game. With him out, Josh Hart, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shametget more work off the Knicks bench. Yabusele's first chance to return will be on Friday night against the undefeated Chicago Bulls. |

| Tue Oct 28 2025 | 09:51 | Guerschon Yabusele Uncertain for Tuesday |
New York Knicks forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. The Frenchman hurt his left knee on Sunday against the Miami Heat and may now have to skip his first game of the season. Through his first few outings as a Knick, Yabusele hasn't been much of a force in fantasy basketball, averaging 1.7 points and 4.0 rebounds off the bench. So far, he has made only two of his 10 shot attempts. Josh Hart could get extra burn off the pine if Yabusele misses time. Conversely, if Yabusele is cleared to play, he may benefit from the potential absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (quadriceps), who is also listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest. |

| Wed Sep 3 2025 | 07:53 | Guerschon Yabusele Erupts for 36 Points Against Poland |
New York Knicks power forward Guerschon Yabusele rocked Poland during France's 83-76 victory at EuroBasket on Tuesday, racking up a national team career-high 36 points. He went berserk from deep, shooting 6-for-12, and finished 12-for-20 overall from the field. Yabusele wrapped up his stat line with six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. This was the third-highest scoring outing ever by a French player in a EuroBasket contest. Yabusele's offensive explosion came out of nowhere, as he had notched only 24 total points across the first three games. Following a strong year with the Philadelphia 76ers, Yabusele finds himself in the Big Apple and looks like a good fit for the Knicks, bringing energy and a versatile skillset to the frontcourt. |

| Tue Jul 1 2025 | 12:36 | Knicks Pick Up Guerschon Yabusele |
Free-agent center Guerschon Yabusele is moving from Philadelphia to New York, signing a two-year, $12 million contract with the Knicks. The forward returned to the NBA last year after five international seasons and averaged 11 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists on 50% shooting from the field. Yabusele brings lineup optionality to the Knicks. While a little undersized, he can play the 5 in a pinch, but he should also seamlessly fit alongside Karl-Anthony Towns or Mitchell Robinson. The fit makes more sense for real-life basketball than it does for fantasy basketball. The Knicks, in a wide-open Eastern Conference, are loading up on depth pieces (Yabusele and guard Jordan Clarkson) to try and reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. |

| Tue Jun 10 2025 | 08:53 | Guerschon Yabusele Wants a New NBA Contract |
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele is looking forward to free agency and has his mind set on staying in the NBA. "Oh, no, 100 percent," Yabusele said in an interview with HoopsHype. "I made it clear. I really, really want to stay in the NBA, now that I have a real reason over there I want to do some more." As a youngster, Yabusele had an underwhelming stint with the Boston Celtics and left the Association in 2019. Following an impressive tournament at the Paris Olympics, he returned to the NBA for the 2024-25 season and played well. Yabusele averaged 11.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 27.1 minutes for the injury-plagued 76ers. The Frenchman was on a one-year, $2.1 million contract in 2024-25 and will surely seek a much better deal as a free agent this offseason. |

| Mon Apr 14 2025 | 16:44 | Daryl Morey, 76ers Want To Bring Back Guerschon Yabusele |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele made a huge impression during the 2024 Olympics, which turned into a contract offer from Daryl Morey and the Sixers' front office. In his first season back in the NBA since 2018-19, Yabusele delivered with averages of 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.5 threes per game. He played a solid complementary game to Joel Embiid when he was able to play, and filled a backup role that the team sorely missed. In a press conference, Daryl Morey said that they loved what Yabusele brought to the team and they would like to retain him this offseason. |

| Fri Apr 11 2025 | 16:54 | Guerschon Yabusele Set To Miss Another Game On Friday |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is experiencing some soreness in his right knee and has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man from France already missed the last two games, and it wouldn't be surprising if the team decided to hold him out of their last game on Sunday as well. Adem Bona should get the starting nod at center again, while Colin Castleton should remain the backup big, even if Alex Reese (Achilles) does play. Bona has played well to end the season, to the tune of 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game through five games in April. |

| Mon Apr 7 2025 | 16:45 | Guerschon Yabusele Ruled Out On Monday |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (personal) will not suit up on Monday due to personal reasons. This leaves a pretty big hole in the rotation after he was in the starting five against the Minnesota Timberwolves and saw the court for 37 minutes. Since Andre Drummond (toe) remains sidelined, Collin Castleton should see a sizeable jump in minutes, while Adem Bona will get plenty of opportunities as long as he stays out of foul trouble. Bona would be the better of the two for DFS purposes as shown by his 13.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game through the month of April. |

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will not play on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. After missing Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors, the feisty Frenchman was not included in the initial injury report for Tuesday's game, but he has now been ruled out due to a sore right knee. Alex Reese and Marcus Bagley will receive more playing opportunities on Tuesday, while Adem Bona will continue to start at center. Bona has had a strong eight-game stretch, averaging 12.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks. |

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has shaken off a sore knee, returning to action after missing one game. Yabusele has struggled to live up to fantasy expectations lately, as his numbers have dropped to 9.4 points and 5.8 rebounds this month. However, since the 76ers are dealing with numerous injuries right now, Yabusele is sure to play a significant role in the rotation. He will start Wednesday's game alongside Jared Butler, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, and Oshae Brissett. |

| Mon Mar 17 2025 | 19:20 | Guerschon Yabusele Downgraded To Out |
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. The team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. This means that all of Philadelphia's regular big men are down on Monday, which will likely result in Alex Reese, Chuma Okeke, and Oshae Brissett getting plenty of burn. In Sunday's meeting with the Dallas Mavericks, Brissett performed the best out of the three players, posting 13 points, five rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 25 minutes. |
