The Sunday evening of the other French people apart from Victor Wembanyama was uneven. State of affairs.
There’s more to life than “Wemby”. If the French basketball star bursts the screen and occupies all the discussions, other tricolors are there in the NBA. The young French Sidy Cissoko (21 years old), with Portland, Noah Penda (21 years old), with Orlando, and Maxime Raynaud (22 years old), with Sacramento, continue to gain ground in their teams and were still starting on Sunday.
Cissoko had 5 points and 3 assists during the Trail Blazers’ defeat against the New York Knicks (123-114). Penda contributed to the Magic’s success against the Pelicans (128-118) with 9 points and 6 rebounds. Raynaud scored a double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds) during the Kings’ convincing victory against the Houston Rockets (111-98).

Yabusele towards a departure from the Knicks
The captain of the French team Guerschon Yabusele, who missed Sunday (quadriceps), is on the other hand on the Knicks transfer list, according to several American media. Yabusele has failed to gain the trust of coach Mike Brown since arriving in New York last summer. Alex Sarr (19 points, 15 rebounds) and Bilal Coulibaly (12 points) fell with Washington in Phoenix (112-93).
