Guerschon Iabusele still loves New York ‘brothers’ despite trade
One of the moves New York Knicks made at the NBA trade deadline was sends Gershon Yabusele to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Dalen Terry. The Knicks then traded Terry to the New Orleans Pelicans for Jose Alvarado. It’s been a few weeks since the trade, but Guerschon Iabusele still have love for his former Knicks teammates.
After the Knicks’ game against the Bulls on Sunday, Gershon Yabusule caught up with a few of his Knicks teammates Josh Hart, Ariel Huckporty, Jordan Clarkson, Mikal Bridges and Mohamed Diawara, and Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson.
Yabusele also took to social media to repost a video that has been doing the rounds with his former teammates, along with the caption “my brothers” and a couple of emojis.
Yabusele was widely considered a great free agent signing for the Knicks in the offseason, but he was never able to find consistent minutes in the rotation this season, and a trade always seemed likely.
Since the deal, he has seen an increase in his playing time and role with the Bulls. He appeared in seven games, including five starts, with just over 25 minutes per game. He is averaging 10.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 42.4 percent shooting from the field, 43.2 percent from the 3-point line and 72.7 percent from the free throw line.
The 16th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Yabusele began his NBA career with the Boston Celtics. He played two seasons for the Celtics before going overseas. He would return to the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2024-25 season.
