Chalon activates to hire a big leader

Beaten after extra time against Alliance Sport Alsace on Tuesday evening, Élan Chalon no longer has much hope of finishing first in the Pro B regular season and thus moving directly to Betclic ELITE. However, the Burgundy club remains well placed to retain second place and thus have the advantage of the field during the playoffs, which will issue the second ticket to access the next level. Thus, the Burgundy club decided to respond favorably to a request from the staff by adding a leader to the workforce. The latter will be hired as a medical replacement for Mickaël Gelabale.

With only two months left to play, the Momentum will thus be able to allocate a very nice monthly envelope for this mission. This is how the 2012 and 2017 French champion club entered the market and in particular requested Brandon Taylor (1.78m, 29 years old). But the former leader of Le Mans and Gravelines declined the Chalonnaise offer. This season, the 2021 All-Star Game MVP was playing in China where he was statistically productive (18.5 points, 4 rebounds and 5.9 assists). Anyway, Chalon-sur-Saône should be able to bring in a big client capable of relieving Antoine Eïto in creation and leadership. Enough to meet the needs of Savo Vucevic.
