Like an air of deja vu. For the second time in his NBA career, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot finds himself without a club just a few days before the start of the regular season, which begins on Tuesday.
Same scenario as in 2019
The Phoenix Suns announced on Saturday October 15 that they did not want to keep the international winger in their workforce. The vice-champion of Europe in September with the France team participated in three preseason matches with the Arizona franchise with which he averaged 8 points and 4.3 rebounds.
The French basketball player drafted in 24th position in 2016 by the Philadelphia Sixers had already found himself without a club just before the start of the 2019-2020 season. Not retained by Brooklyn, the Frenchman was able to continue his adventure in the NBA after convincing the Atlanta franchise and signing a contract for the entire season.
