It is a personal bet and risk for him Gerson Yabusele the decision to leave her Real Madrid to go to the NBA. The French forward he agreed with the Sixers for a guaranteed $2.1 million one-year contract, but he had to make quite a few…sacrifices.
The buyout on his contract with the Spanish champions is 2.5 million euros, but according to NBA regulations, league teams cannot give more than $850,000 in compensation. This practically means that the 28-year-old ace will need to come “inside” about 400,000 dollars to return to the USA.
Obviously Yabusele “invests” in himself and believes that if he has a good season in the NBA, he will find a bigger contract in the 2025/26 season. An additional incentive for the Olympic silver medalist is that if he plays in even one game with the Sixers, he will complete a three-year playing season in the best league in the world, which will ensure him (based on the very strong NBA collective agreement) pension and medical cover.
It is noted that with the departure of Yabusele, Real will reach 20.5 million euros in revenue from buy-out teams from the NBA. Madrid, in particular, have collected 2.5 million euros since the departure of Mirotic for the Bulls in 2014, and from then on, as much for Sergio Rodriguez, 2 million euros for Luka Doncic, 6 million euros for Facundo Campacho, 2 million euros for Gabriel Dek and 3 million euros for Ousmane Garouba.
