Overview
- Reports from HoopsHype, citing league sources, say Yabusele has agreed to a three-year contract with Panathinaikos and will leave the NBA for Greece.
- The salary ranking that would place him among the top three highest-paid players in Europe is reported but has not been independently confirmed by the club or the player.
- Yabusele averaged about 10 points per game in 26 appearances for the Chicago Bulls in 2025-26 and roughly 8.3 points across the past two NBA seasons with the 76ers, Knicks and Bulls.
- His career follows a common path of early NBA entry, a return to Europe to rebuild form, international success with France at the 2024 Olympics, and then a second NBA stint before this return to Europe.
- Panathinaikos is a perennial EuroLeague power that often offers established internationals larger roles and guaranteed multi-year pay, a move that should give Yabusele more playing stability and a lead role on a top European club.
