Although he has not played in the NBA for five years, several sources in the league revealed that the toughness and offensive and defensive attributes of French center and Real Madrid player Yabusele have brought him back to the NBA's vision. Yabusele made it clear that he is ready to return to the NBA, and perhaps he has done enough to win the opportunity to return to the NBA.

Dammarell said that the Cavaliers may be a serious choice for Yabusele. Kenny Atkinson is the head coach of this Eastern Conference powerhouse, and he is also an assistant coach of the French men's basketball team, helping the team win the Olympic silver medal. Several sources revealed that since the Cavaliers usually have 14 players under standard contracts, they will ask Atkinson before the start of the new season training camp to add a player he is familiar with (Yabusele).

At the Paris Olympics, Yabusele, who played at home, performed well, especially in the three games against Canada, Germany and the United States in the knockout rounds. The Real Madrid center played a key role.

Throughout the Olympics, Yabusele averaged 23.3 minutes per game, scoring 14 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1 assist, with a shooting percentage of 51.9%.

Yabusele was the 16th pick of the Celtics in 2016. He played in the NBA for two seasons, played a total of 74 regular season games, and averaged 6.6 minutes per game, scoring 2.3 points and 1.4 rebounds.
