Guerschon Yabusele to China
French forward Guerschon Yabusele has agreed to terms with Chinese side Nanjing Tongxi Basketball, a source told Sportando. Yabusele has been waived early last month by the Boston Celtics and will return to China, where he played in 2016-17 for the Shanghai Sharks.
Mark Murphy: Celtics keeping options open re: Tacko Fall and his training camp contract. With Yabu gone, extra roster spot gives flexibility that can be used in variety of ways.
Chris Grenham: Robert Williams (right hip contusion) and Guerschon Yabusele (left pinkie injury) are both out tonight vs. Denver, per the team.
The Celtics will need to fill a hole at the starting big position, as their only options are currently developing prospects Rob Williams, Guerschon Yabusele, Semi Ojeleye and rookie Grant Williams. One option may be Enes Kanter, who is expressing strong interest in the Celtics per a league source. Kanter is planning to speak with the Celtics and Blazers as free agency opens at 6 pm ET.
Chris Grenham: Jaylen Brown and Al Horford are officially available tonight vs Orlando, per the team. Terry Rozier and Guerschon Yabusele are questionable.
Chris Grenham: Terry Rozier, Daniel Theis, and Guerschon Yabusele are all sick and questionable for tomorrow’s game vs Atlanta, per the Celtics.
Adam Himmelsbach: New: Adam Silver hinted that the NBA is headed to Paris next year, and Guerschon Yabusele is ecstatic, and also hopeful that the Cs get the call. “France’s young kids who play basketball have a dream to come to the NBA, like I was in this position before.” bostonglobe.com/sports/celtics…
A. Sherrod Blakely: “It was frustrating but I tried to focus on coming back stronger.” – #Celtics Guerschon Yabusele when I asked him about being out with an injury with Boston already decimated by big man injuries.
Scott Souza: #Celtics coach Brad Stevens: Guerschon Yabusele will play tonight. Coach not willing to reveal starting lineup.
Jared Weiss: Al Horford and Yabu remain out tonight per Celtics.
A. Sherrod Blakely: No surprises on the injury report for the #Celtics heading into Friday #Hawks game. Al Horford (knee) and Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) are OUT. Jaylen Brown (illness) is questionable.
Mark Murphy: Yabusele has received a rough time frame for a return: “They were saying two to four weeks, but it’s about how I feel. It was definitely less painful than the night I sprained it, and today was even better.”
Scott Souza: #Celtics Brad Stevens: Al Horford OUT tonight; Aron Baynes better but not enough to play; no high ankle sprain for Guerschon Yabusele, but will be out a couple of weeks.
Sean Grande: Aron Baynes and Al Horford questionable, Guerschon Yabusele out tomorrow against New Orleans. The Pelicans about to tip off in Detroit, front-end of a back-to-back.
Boston Celtics: #NEBHInjuryReport: Guerschon Yabusele suffered a “bad (ankle) sprain,” according to Stevens. “No break, so that’s good. But he’ll probably out awhile.”
Jared Weiss: Celtics are assigning Yabu and Brad Wanamaker for tonight’s Red Claws game vs. Raptors 905 to get the some playing time. Rob Williams already assigned as well. Game is airing on ESPN+.
The Celts also had to consider that next summer Marcus Morris will be an unrestricted free agent, Aron Baynes can opt out, Terry Rozier, Daniel Theis and Brad Wanamaker can be restricted free agents, Kyrie Irving is planning to opt out (and, he says, sign a more lucrative deal here), and Al Horford can sever his deal, too. “There is some uncertainty in the offseason, as there always is,” Ainge said. “But the bottom line is he’s a 22-year-old unique player that we really like, and, again, a player that we like as much who he is as what he is at this point in his career. “Having Guerschon gives us continuity. He knows our system. He’s loved by everybody. It’s just not easy to find that type of player.”
The Celtics have until Wednesday to make decisions on three players’ futures. Two are dead-lock certainties. One is not. While the club will clearly be exercising their 2019-20 options on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the call on Guerschon Yabusele is more complicated. Tatum will get his third-year slot of $7,830,000 next season and Brown will get his fourth-year number, $6,534,829. The Celtics aren’t letting either get out of their sight.
And even though Yabusele’s third-year guarantee would be for a relatively modest $3,117,240, the real dollars are much greater. The club would be committing more than double that because of the luxury tax implications. And at present, Yabusele isn’t part of the main rotation and doesn’t figure to get there without injuries or roster moves that open playing time. It’s possible the Celts could decline the option and sign Yabusele to a more team-friendly deal next summer. But if the C’s pass now, the Dancing Bear will be an unrestricted free agent — and if he shows something this season, he could be wanted elsewhere. What’s more, if there is demand, Boston would be able to start a new deal at an amount no higher than what it declined. If the option is picked up, the process will play out again at this time next season, when a call will have to be made on $4,781,846 for 2020-21.
But he’s not concerning himself with that just now. “I would love to be back here with the team,” Yabusele said. “The Celtics are a great organization, so if I have a chance to be back here, I would love to do that.”
Adam Himmelsbach: Stevens on Guerschon and ’19-’20 team option decision: “His ability [to be] a guy you can throw in with any different lineup has proved to be very important. As we move forward—obviously we have a deep team, and that’s a big challenge—but as we move forward we really value him.”

Jay King: Guerschon Yabusele said he has lost six pounds. Six pounds.
Brian Robb: Celtics summer league roster is out. Robert Williams, Guerschon Yabusele, Semi Ojeleye, Jabari Bird and Kadeem Allen are all on the roster
Jay King: Yabusele’s MRI came back “clear,” according to Stevens. He still has knee soreness though so he won’t play today.
Stevens said the team wasn’t particularly worried about Yabusele’s knee. “They don’t think it’s anything,” Stevens said, “but they’re going to get some imaging just to make sure.”
Jay King: Marcus Morris (rest) will not play tomorrow against the Hawks. Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is doubtful. The usual suspects (Irving, Hayward, Smart, Theis) are all out, obviously.
Adam Himmelsbach: Guerschon has a sore knee. Team doesn’t have great concern but he’ll have MRI to be sure.
Jared Weiss: Tatum told Yabu is starting and he smiles and can’t believe it. “That’s my guy.” Then yells over “Guersch! I’m happy for you!” Shane Larkin in the back had no idea and ran over to congratulate him.
Chris Forsberg: Celtics starters Terry Rozier, Jayson Tatum, Marcus Morris, Aron Baynes and … Guerschon Yabusele (who hasn’t played an NBA game since early February). #NationalTVYabu 🕺🐻
Gary Washburn: Guerschon Yabusele will join the #Celtics tomorrow.
Boston Celtics: We have assigned Guerschon Yabusele to the @maineredclaws
Alex Kennedy: During the Celtics-Grizzlies talks, I’m told Boston offered two second-round picks and Guerschon Yabusele for Tyreke Evans. It doesn’t appear they agreed to terms before the deadline.
Marc Berman: Knicks also got a $1.5M trade exception in the Hernangomez deal which they can use for a player today. Sources indicate they inquired about Celtics young French power forward Guerschon Yabusele, 22.
