Killian Tillie becomes the 35th Frenchman in history to play in the NBA

Embarrassed by an ischio injury, then to the foot, the French Killian Tillie, not drafted, but signed by the Grizzlies on draft night, still hadn’t made his NBA debut. It is done since during the humiliation inflicted by the Grizzlies on the Rockets, he spent 9 minutes on the floor, becoming the 35th Frenchman in history to play in the NBA.

He took the opportunity to register his first basket, a 3-point shot. He finished with 3 1/2 points, 1 rebound and 1 interception in 9 minutes.
