Guerschon Yabusele Stats, Advanced Metrics & Fantasy Rankings

Free-agent forward/center Guerschon Yabusele has agreed to a three-year deal with Panathinaikos, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Scotto reported that the 30-year-old will be one of the top three highest-paid players in Europe. Yabusele spent the last two seasons with the 76ers, Knicks, and Bulls, but his production dipped to 5.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists across 67 combined games last year. The veteran's departure clears the way for Chicago's revamped frontcourt, meaning Caleb Wilson, Nicolas Claxton, and Leonard Miller will handle the bulk of the interior minutes. Yabusele is completely off the fantasy radar as he returns overseas.

Chicago Bulls center Nick Richards (elbow) will remain out on Friday against the New York Knicks. Chicago has downgraded his status from questionable to out, meaning Richards will miss a fifth consecutive contest. Fortunately for the Bulls. Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is good to go after initially carrying a questionable tag. He has been solid as a starter in recent games and should have a chip on his shoulder in Friday's game against the Knicks, who barely used him this season and traded him in February.

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.
