CLEVELAND -- Guerschon Yabusele, a 2016 first-round pick of the Boston Celtics, underwent surgery recently to remove bone spurs from the top of both feet and is unlikely to participate in the summer league, according to a league source.
Yabusele, the 16th overall pick in last year’s draft, spent much of his first professional season stashed in China. He came stateside in March and latched on with the Maine Red Claws, Boston’s D-League affiliate.
Yabusele appeared in seven games for Maine, including five postseason appearances. The 6-foot-8, 265-pound big man, affectionately nicknamed The Dancing Bear by Celtics assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry last summer, averaged 12.
