The Boston Celtics are exploring options ahead of the 2025 NBA trade deadline, with reports linking them to Guerschon Yabusele, currently with the Philadelphia 76ers. Yabusele, a former Celtics player, was drafted 16th overall in 2016 but had a modest impact during his time in Boston. After a successful stint in Europe, highlighted by his performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he averaged 14 points for Team France, he returned to the NBA. Yabusele's current averages of 10.4 points and 5.5 rebounds this season make him an attractive option for the Celtics, who seek to bolster their roster.

Boston's potential trade strategy may involve swapping Xavier Tillman for Yabusele, as the Celtics look to leverage their limited options effectively. Yabusele's interest in returning to Boston could facilitate a deal, and the Celtics may also consider including draft picks to entice the 76ers further. The coming weeks will reveal if Boston's front office, led by Brad Stevens, decides to pursue this opportunity.
