Yabusele could see additional playing time off the bench against the Celtics on Wednesday if Drummond isn't cleared to play.

Not starting Monday Yabusele won't start Monday's game against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Yabusele recorded a career-high 12 rebounds in the win, as he continues to fill in admirably for the shorthanded 76ers.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Friday Yabusele will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Magic.

Impact Yabusele got the starting nod for the first time this season in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers, during which he supplied 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes. While Andre Drummond is available for Friday's matchup, he is dealing with an illness, and Yabusele will likely play a significant role off the bench behind Joel Embiid.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double in start Yabusele supplied 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Yabusele moved into the starting lineup, filling for Joel Embiid who was given the night off as part of his injury management plan. With Andre Drummond also sidelined due to illness, it was Yabusele who served as the primary center option, playing at least 30 minutes for just the third time this season. Embiid will likely return for the next game but given the struggles of Drummond, there is a chance Yabusele moves ahead of him in the rotation at some point in the near future.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Cleveland Yabusele is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid (knee) and Andre Drummond (illness), so Yabusele will get the nod at center, making his first start of the season. The big man has been playing well of late and has scored in double digits in three of his last five outings.

Best outing of season off bench Yabusele logged 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and eight rebounds over 31 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 overtime victory over the Hornets.

Impact Yabusele shined off the 76ers bench once again, making a case to be considered for a starting job sooner rather than later. Yabusele ended second on the team in scoring and concluded as one of two players with 20 or more points. He also led all bench players in rebounds and concluded two boards shy of a double-double. Yabusele's point total marked a new season high and is the third time in the last four games he has scored 14 or more points.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Big numbers off bench Yabusele totaled 19 points (6-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one block in 30 minutes off the bench during Monday's 118-116 loss to the Suns.

Impact The 28-year-old big posted his best performance of the season, taking advantage of the continued absence of Joel Embiid (knee) and an ineffective night from Andre Drummond. Yabusele will likely be only the fourth or fifth man in the Sixers' frontcourt rotation once the roster is at full strength, but if he keeps delivering from beyond the arc -- he's 10-for-20 on three-point attempts over the last three games -- he could push his way into a bigger role.
