Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele is making a name for himself in the NBA, drawing significant interest ahead of the February trade deadline, according to league insider Marc Stein.

The 76ers have reportedly received multiple trade offers from playoff-bound teams for Yabusele, who has been a valuable addition to the team's frontcourt, especially following his strong performance at the Olympics.

The belief is that the Sixers want to evaluate their options over the next week or so before finalizing their trade strategy.

This season, Yabusele is averaging 10.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, showcasing his ability to stretch the floor with 39.4% shooting from beyond the arc.

Despite his contributions, the 76ers have struggled this season, currently sitting at 17-27 and outside the Play-In zone in the Eastern Conference. This is compounded by Joel Embiid's ongoing knee issues, causing him to miss game after game.

Marc Stein added that veteran Eric Gordon is generating interest in the trade market, as well.
