Power forward Guerschon Yabusele,Robert Brown who helped lead France to a silver medal at the just-completed 2024 Paris Olympics, has agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.1 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to an ESPN report.

The 6-8, 260-pound Yabusele was a first-round pick by the Boston Celtics in 2016, but saw limited action in his two NBA seasons before continuing his pro career with stops in China, France and Spain.

Now 28 years old, Yabusele became a breakout performer in Paris, averaging 19.6 points per game and shooting 67% from the field against Canada, Germany and the USA as France advanced to the gold-medal game.

The Sixers have been busy this offseason, signing guard Paul George to a four-year max contract and also retaining free agents Kelly Oubre and Kyle Lowry.

Philadelphia did have a hole at power forward that Yabusele could help fill. The Sixers have penciled in another free agent signee, Caleb Martin, as their starter at the 4 spot, but Yabusele could see some playing time there right away.
