Not spared from injuries since the start of his career, has Vincent Pouchot already drawn a line on his season? The pivot of Tours (National 1) in any case seriously injured a knee last week during a training match. Verdict? Cruciate ligament rupture. Already hit in the knee last season, the tallest French basketball player (2.22m) should be away from the courts for nearly six months. Trained at SLUC Nancy, which he left in 2013, the tallest French player (2.22m) joined Tours last year after successively wearing the colors of Nancy, Lille, Charleville-Mézières, Besançon and Lorient.

McFadden. Thaddeus McFadden continues to be a hit in Burgos. After having won the Champions League with the Spanish club and been voted MVP of the Final 8 , the former Nancy full-back (2016/2017) started the group stage of European competition on the same basis. While his team dominated Brindisi by 22 pts (93-71) on Wednesday, McFadden finished top scorer in the match with 21 points at 7/15 in shoots, with three assists and two rebounds.
Leaders Cup. If the SLUC Nancy has missed the march to the Leaders Cup final on Tuesday , there will still be an ex-Nancy to lift the trophy on Sunday. In the ranks of Fos evolves Jean-Michel Mipoka, passed by Nancy in 2013/2014 while the other finalist, Quimper, relies in particular on the Jamaican Ryan Reid, player of the SLUC in 2014/2015. Which of the two will be sacred? Verdict Sunday on the Côte d’Azur.
