Nicolas Batum, a long-time NBA player, could return to Europe at the invitation of his teammates from the national team, Tony Parker, and join Asvel!
The French basketball player has an enviable career behind him.
He played his first senior season in the Le Mans jersey, then in 2008 he received an invitation to go “across the pond” and since then he has not played in Europe.
During his career, Batum played for Portland, Charlotte and now the Clippers.
As he enters his late playing years and his role in the NBA diminishes, it may be the ideal time to return home. Namely, Tony Parker is the majority owner of Aswell, from whom he wants to make a standard Euroleague player who will fight for the title in the future.
In addition to Parker, the mentioned Batum also has a share in the team, who could wear the shirt of the French club in the near future.
- There are talks. We’ll see. I’m serious – said the former ace of San Antonio.
To this his former teammate responded as follows.
- Tony created a real project that I believe in, I want to contribute to development – said Batum.
Let us remind you that the experienced winger has a valid contract with the Clippers until 2024, so when it expires, he could find himself in Asvel’s team.
