Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Logs season high in minutes
Rotowire
Yabusele closed with 16 points (6-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 37 minutes during Thursday's 105-103 win over the Suns.
Yabusele managed to score 16 points, but it took him 15 attempts from the field to do so. He was also less productive on the glass after recording a double-double in his previous matchup Tuesday against OKC. While this was far from an efficient night, Yabusele continues to see significant usage while the Bulls navigate without Jalen Smith (calf) and Patrick Williams (quadriceps).

Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Double-double in loss to OKC
Rotowire
Yabusele closed Tuesday's 116-108 loss to the Thunder with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
Making his sixth straight start, Yabusele delivered his third double-double of the season, tying his career high. The journeyman big is plugging a hole in the Chicago frontcourt right now, and over his last 11 games (nine starts), he's averaging 11.0 points, 6.5 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.3 threes and 0.9 steals in 25.2 minutes. Yabusele's role and usage are likely to take a hit once Jalen Smith (calf) is cleared to return to the lineup, however.

Rotowire
Yabusele will start Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Nursing minor calf injury
Rotowire
Yabusele is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a left calf contusion.
Yabusele may have tweaked his calf during the Bulls' 110-101 loss to the Raptors on Thursday, when he logged eight points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes, though the veteran big man is on track to play in Saturday's contest. Since being acquired by the Bulls from the Knicks in early February, Yabusele is averaging 10.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.2 threes and 0.8 steals over 24.8 minutes per game.
Yabusele logged 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 loss to the Celtics.
Although Yabusele has impressed during his brief time in Chicago following the departure of Nikola Vucevic, it'll be interesting to see what kind of role he plays once Jalen Smith (calf) gets back on the court. Yabusele has averaged 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes per contest in his last four games, connecting on 41.7 percent of his three-point shots.

Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Yabusele is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Denver.
Yabusele will start in his second game with the Bulls, stepping in for the injured Jalen Smith (calf). Yabusele had a stellar Chicago debut, posting 15 points and 11 rebounds across 33 minutes. Even with Nick Richards (recently traded) and Leonard Miller (recently traded) available to make their Bulls debuts, expect Yabusele to see plenty of run Saturday night.

Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Double-doubles in Chicago debut
Rotowire
Yabusele registered 14 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes during the Bulls' 123-107 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.
Yabusele was dealt by the Knicks to the Bulls on Wednesday, and the veteran from France was given the green light to make his Chicago debut Thursday. He averaged just 8.9 minutes per game off the bench with New York, but he got an expanded opportunity against Toronto, logging his first double-double of the season and first since Jan. 24, 2025 against the Cavaliers, when he was a member of the 76ers. Yabusele's minutes off the bench were a promising sign, though what his role will look like long-term remains to be seen.

Rotowire
Yabusele (trade) will be available to play Thursday in Toronto, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Yabusele will be available to make his Bulls debut Thursday evening, and he could get minutes right away with Jalen Smith and Lachlan Olbrich being the only other available bigs on the roster for Thursday's game. Yabusele could be worth a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Yabusele (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Yabusele is in jeopardy of missing his second straight game due to a right quadriceps contusion. The 30-year-old forward has logged double-digit minutes in just two of his last five appearances, so his absence wouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

Rotowire
Yabusele is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to a right quadriceps contusion.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Chance to play Christmas Day
Rotowire
Yabusele (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
An illness prevented Yabusele from playing Monday against the Timberwolves, but he has a chance to return for Christmas Day. He averaged 27.1 minutes per game across 70 regular-season games (43 starts) for the 76ers in 2023-24, but he has averaged just 9.6 minutes off the bench across 26 outings for the Knicks to open the 2025-26 regular season.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Out with illness
Rotowire
Yabusele (illness) will not play Tuesday against Minnesota.
Yabusele has seen single-digit minutes in three of his last four games, so his absence won't make many waves for fantasy purposes. With OG Anunoby (ankle) also out, Mohamed Diawara could draw another start.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Another quiet performance
Rotowire
Yabusele closed Monday's 113-100 victory over the Nets with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two assists and one block in 12 minutes.
Even with the absence of Mitchell Robinson (illness), Yabusele was not able to do much, playing just 12 minutes. Regardless of whether Robinson plays, Yabusele does not have a consistent role off the bench, splitting time with Ariel Hukporti, so Yabusele should not be rostered in most league formats for the time being.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Muted in win
Rotowire
Yabusele registered five points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and two rebounds over 10 minutes during Sunday's 134-98 victory over Brooklyn.
Yabusele has seen his role decrease with the return of Mitchell Robinson but remains the backup center and will likely continue to see extended minutes in back-to-backs since Robinson will likely be held out for one of the two legs. On the season, Yabusele averages 2.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.1 steals and 0.5 blocks.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Likely to play Thursday
Rotowire
Yabusele (knee) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Bulls.
After missing Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a knee issue, Yabusele is trending toward returning to the floor. He hasn't made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective this season, averaging 1.7 points and 4.0 rebounds across 13.7 minutes per game.

Knicks' Guerschon Yabusele: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Yabusele is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a left knee sprain.
He must have tweaked his knee during Sunday's game and is now in danger of being unavailable Tuesday night. The Knicks should provide another update following Tuesday's shootaround, but if Yabusele isn't able to give it a go, Mohamed Diawara would have an opportunity to enter the rotation.

Rotowire
Yabusele put up two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds and a steal across 16 minutes in Sunday's 115-107 loss to Miami.
Sunday marked Yabusele's season high in minutes, but he was unable to take advantage of the opportunity in the scoring department. While Mitchell Robinson (ankle) remains out, Yabusele should continue backing up Ariel Hukporti at center, but once Robinson comes back, the French big man's role may be in jeopardy.
