Knicks Trade Yabusele to Bulls for Dalen Terry

The New York Knicks traded forward Guerschon Yabusele to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday morning in exchange for guard Dalen Terry, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal, completed just before the NBA trade deadline, ends Yabusele's disappointing stint with the Knicks and provides the team with added backcourt depth as they push for a playoff run.

Yabusele, a 30-year-old French international, joined the Knicks on a two-year, $11.2 million contract signed in July 2025, following a breakout season with the Philadelphia 76ers. In 70 games with Philadelphia during the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged 11.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per game while shooting 50.1 percent from the field over 27.1 minutes. Expectations were high for the 6-foot-8 forward to serve as a key reserve in New York, bolstering a roster eyeing a deep postseason. Instead, Yabusele struggled to adapt, appearing in 41 games and averaging just 2.7 points on 39.3 percent shooting in 8.9 minutes per contest. His $5.7 million salary this season, along with a $5.7 million player option for next year, had become a sticking point in negotiations, as teams hesitated to absorb the contract amid his limited role.
