Already spent in the Turkish club between 2019 and 2022, before returning to France to wear the Lyon jersey, Nando de Colo won a league title and a Turkish Cup there. Already a double winner of the Euroleague with CSKA Moscow (2016 and 2019), the leader hopes to relive such emotion with a club that plays the leading roles. Fenerbahçe is currently in 3rd place with 12 wins in 18 matches. Asvel is only 19th.
