Guerschon Yabusele's tenure with the Celtics didn't go the way he had hoped, but the 2016 first-round pick still is thankful for his time in Boston.
Yabusele, who was waived on Wednesday, bid farewell with a heartfelt Instagram post thanking the C's organization and fans.
I’ve Been blessed and thankful since that special day of my life. #2016NbaDraft
I want thank all the fans, the city of Boston for all the love and the @celticsfor the amazing experience.
I want to thank also my teammates, coaching staff, all the peoples working with the @celtics that help us everyday and all the peoples around.
Boston will always be in my heart #TheDancingBear #Dabusele#BleedGreen
Yabusele was drafted with the No. 16 overall pick in 2016, but the French big man never took the next step. He averaged only 6.1 minutes per game in the 2018-19 season.
The 23-year-old's departure could open the door for the 7-foot-7 fan favorite Tacko Fall to earn a two-way contract with the Celtics.
