Buy out of your own pocket to return to the NBA! Yabuselle: Playing in the NBA is a dream

Basketball

August 25th, Knicks player Gaelhoon Yabuselle was interviewed by BasketNews and talked about his experience of returning to the NBA.

In 2024, the Sixers offered a quote to Abuselle, who had been away from the NBA for five years. At that time, Yabussele had one year left in the contract with Real Madrid, and the buyout fee was as high as 2.5 million euros. According to NBA rules, the team can only pay up to $850,000 of it, which means Yabussele needs to pay the remaining $1.65 million out of his own pocket.

This is undoubtedly a huge adventure for a player who does not earn much in Europe. But Yabuselle did the same. Before signing with the Sixers, Yabussele even tweeted: "I'm waiting for a second chance...I'm ready."

"You know, that was my goal... Although I've played for one of the best teams in the NBA, I really didn't have a chance to prove myself," Yabussele said.

"As a young man, entering the NBA is a dream. So, I want to go back and make sure I have the opportunity to explore and play."
