Cory Joseph: Monaco Exit Without Debut?

In five years, who will remember that Cory Joseph spent six weeks in the Principality? 45 days after the formalization of his signing in Monaco, the 2014 NBA champion has still not played a single match with the Roca Team…

For good reason, the Canadian combo-guard is a collateral victim of the Monegasque club’s financial problems. The former Spur had joined the ASM despite the ban on recruitment in the EuroLeague, hoping that it would eventually be lifted. And to make matters worse, the LNB refused to qualify it, arguing that Monaco had not « not discharged its financial obligations to the LNB”.

Heading to Aris Salonika?

The Roca Team appealed but a month later, the situation seems stuck. So much so that the man with 954 NBA games should discover the European game elsewhere! Confined to training and the stretches of Gaston-Médecin, Cory Joseph is now announced in Greece… to really set foot on the floor this time!

Sport24 reports that Aris Salonika is on the verge of concluding an agreement with the shooter from Toronto. He would then try to reverse a poorly started situation when the legendary Greek club was supposed to regain momentum under the tutelage of a new owner: the young Canadian millionaire, Richard Hsiao.

Thus, four days before the end of the regular phase of the EuroCup, Aris is on the verge of elimination, two lengths behind sixth place. In ESAKE, the record of Amine Noua’s team is also negative (6v-7d). Before the arrival of the savior, the one who was supposed to take Monaco to the last step?
