A month after his debut in the NBA, Toumani Camara has already established himself as a starter in the North American basketball league. In Portland, the Brussels resident feels like a fish in water.
“I’m a worker on both ends of the floor, that’s my style of play,” Camara said in The Trail, the series that follows the Oregon franchise’s season. “I always play with a lot of energy, I want to defend at a high level and help my team win matches. »
Drafted by Phoenix last June, Camara was sent to Portland at the end of September as part of Damian Lillard’s transfer to Milwaukee. After a convincing preseason, the winger earned his minutes to the point of settling into the starting five.
“It’s when I’m on the field that I feel like I can really express myself and be who I want to be. I can express all my emotions and be another Toumani. I am ready to make my team win everything. »

A state of mind that has already won over his teammates. “Tou (his nickname, editor’s note), he’s my friend. We sit next to each other in the locker room and joke all the time. With his style of play, he brings energy to the team and the fans. I think he can help us,” said Shaedon Sharpe, one of the Blazers’ young stars.
