McCain recalls Abuselle: Brotherhood is hard to bear, a new chapter in the arena is about to begin

On August 22, 76ers player McCain talked deeply about his former teammate Abuselle in an interview, and his deep reluctance was beyond words.

McCain said with emotion: "Brother, I really miss him very much. He is definitely one of the best people around me. No matter what happens, I can talk to him without any worries. Many of the teammates on the team are very good, but I have a very close relationship with him. He is kind and has a great personality. He is very happy to fight with him on the court. And he is always full of energy. It feels really uncomfortable to see him leave. Fortunately, after he left, we talked a few times, and he should be seen frequently in New York in the future."

During this offseason, Yabuselle signed a two-year $12 million contract with the Knicks, which also includes player options. This decision means that Yabuselle will start a brand new basketball journey in the Knicks.

Review In the 2024-25 regular season, Yabuselle left many exciting moments on the court. He played in 70 games, averaging 27.1 minutes per game. With his stable performance, he averaged 11 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks per game. He shot 50.1% from the field, 38.0% from three-pointers and 72.5% from free throws. Such data is enough to prove his value in the team. Whether it is a rebounding competition in the inside or a three-point shooting in the outside, Yabuselle can provide strong support to the team.

Abusele's departure is undoubtedly a loss for McCain and the Sixers. But in the world of basketball, the flow of players is normal. Every transfer is to pursue better development opportunities. The Knicks signed Yabuselle, probably because they also saw his comprehensive skills and positive attitude towards the game.

For Yabuselle, joining the Knicks is a brand new starting point. In the new team, he will face different challenges and opportunities. He needs to integrate into the Knicks' tactical system as soon as possible, establish a tacit understanding with his new teammates, and contribute to the team's victory. McCain's deep friendship for him will also become his warm memories and source of motivation in his new journey.

Basketball is a sport full of passion and change. Players travel between different teams and write their own basketball stories. What will Yabuselle's future in the Knicks? Whether he can shine brighter on the new stage, let's wait and see.
