The French forward is believed to have signed a one-year contract with the Sixers after propelling France to Olympic silver.

Yabusele experienced a breakout tournament on the hosts' run to the final, scoring 22 points against Canada, 17 against Germany and 20 against Team USA in the gold-medal match.

His impressive run in the knockout rounds also saw him shoot 16-for-24 (66.7%) from the field overall.

Yabusele joins the 76ers from Real Madrid, ending a three-year stint in the Spanish capital.

During his spell with Madrid, the team reached the EuroLeague final four every season and even won the title in 2023.
