Forward Guerschon Yabusele agreed to a one-year, $2.1 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, ESPN reported on Sunday.

Yabusele, a 6-foot-8, 260-pound power forward, helped host France capture the silver medal at the Olympics earlier this month. He scored 20 points in the gold-medal match against the United States. He averaged 14.0 points and 3.3 rebounds for his team.

Yabusele, 28, initially was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 16th overall pick of the 2016 NBA Draft. He averaged 2.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 74 games (five starts) over two seasons with the Celtics before he was waived in the summer of 2019.

He played one season in China and two in France before spending the last three with Real Madrid.
