It does not come as a surprise, as The Post previously reported the Knicks were actively looking to trade the struggling Yabusele.<\/p>\n

Yabusele signed a two-year deal worth roughly $12 million, which included a player option for next year, this past offseason. There was a possibility the Knicks would have had to attach draft compensation to a deal to get a team to take on his contract \u2014 that they didn\u2019t have to is a plus.<\/p>\n
He was the Knicks\u2019 biggest free agency signing in two years \u2014 since Donte DiVincenzo. After a few years playing overseas, he had rejuvenated his career with the French national team in the 2024 Olympics and with the 76ers last year. The Knicks planned on him being a key part of what was supposed to be a strengthened bench unit, providing valuable big man depth.<\/p>\n
But he has looked out of place in coach Mike Brown\u2019s system, seeing his role diminish. Notably, he signed with the Knicks before Brown was officially hired as coach.<\/p>\n
In 41 games with the Knicks, he averaged 2.7 points on 39.3 percent shooting from the field and 29.4 percent shooting from 3-point range. He did not play the last three games as the Knicks were in trade discussions.<\/p>\n
He seemed to see the writing on the wall earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m blessed for everything that\u2019s happened in my career so far, to be able to be in here with the New York Knicks and everything,\u201d Yabusele said on Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019m just blessed for that and I\u2019ll take it as it comes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Terry, a guard in his fourth season in the league, is averaging 3.5 points per game on 44.1 percent shooting from the field and 41.3 percent from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
He will be a free agent after the season, so the Knicks got out of Yabusele\u2019s contract for next year in exchange for an expiring deal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guerschon Yabusele\u2019s failed Knicks tenure is over.
