Despite signing a two-year deal with the New York Knicks last summer, French forward Guerschon Yabusele has struggled for minutes, averaging just 8.9 per game across 41 appearances.
After Tuesday’s 132-101 win over the Washington Wizards, Frenchman addressed rumors about a potential return to Europe.
“I ain’t closing no door on nothing. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know what tomorrow’s going to be… I’m a Knicks player at the end of the day. But there’s been teams calling, so yeah, I feel like the report was just them saying they want me and then everybody thought that I signed something already. No, nothing like that. But there’s some teams out there that we heard are getting ready to sign me if I go back that way. We’ll see what happens,” Yabusele said, according to the New York Post’s Stefan Bondy.
While any overseas move would require a buyout from the Knicks or a trade to a team willing to facilitate one, Yabusele’s comments underscore his openness to options as he navigates a limited role in New York’s rotation.
