Overview
- Yabusele said he is ignoring public discussion about his weight and insisted he feels in great shape.
- The Knicks list him at 283 pounds, the Sixers’ media guide had him at 279 last season, and some sites that showed 265 are described as mistaken.
- Through 15 games entering Wednesday, he was averaging 2.7 points in 10.5 minutes with .349 shooting overall and .276 from three.
- Under Mike Brown’s faster system and a predetermined minutes plan, his court time has been limited, including just 12 minutes against the Nets despite frontcourt absences.
- Signed in the summer for two years and $11 million with a player option, he has seen a small recent uptick from deep, going 4-for-11 from three over his last six games.
