7 French people were on deck last night and as often the one who caused the most talk was Victor Wembanyama. The Alien posted a huge triple-double, but he wasn't the only player from the land of raclette to hit the courts, so here's an overview of what you shouldn't miss.
The results of the night:
- Brooklyn Nets – Orlando Magic : 92 – 100 (stats)
- Memphis Grizzlies – Indiana Pacers. : 136 – 121 (les stats)
- Toronto Raptors – Miami Heat : 119 – 116 (les stats)
- New York Knicks – New Orleans Pelicans : 118 – 85 (les stats)
- Cleveland Cavaliers – Boston Celtics : 115 – 111 (les stats)
- Houston Rockets – Oklahoma City Thunder : 119 – 116 (les stats)
- Los Angeles Lakers – Utah Jazz: 105 – 104 (stats)
- Sacramento Kings – San Antonio Spurs : 125 – 127 (stats)
- Portland Trail Blazers – Dallas Mavericks : 131 – 137 (stats)
- Los Angeles Clippers – Denver Nuggets : 126 – 122 (les stats)
Pacôme Dadiet
Pacôme Dadiet did not put on the white and orange outfit of the Knicks against the Pelicans. The Frenchman was assigned to the G-League where he was already able to put out a game with 12 points and 6 rebounds. What better way to develop to hope to secure a place in Tom Thibodeau's rotation.
Ousmane Dieng
We listed him here for form, but Ousmane Dieng still has a finger injury and should return in at least two weeks.
Armel Traore
More than 10 minutes on the clock – 11 if we want to be precise – for the Frenchman from the Lakers. Only two rebounds and one steal, but the playing time is encouraging. Hopefully this allows number 94 to find a place in the Los Angeles rotation.
Victor Wembanyama
You were waiting for him, here he is, the French MVP of the night. Wemby rolled over the Kings with a crazy triple-double: 34 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, all punctuated by the Spurs victory.

Sidy Cissoko
If it wears the same colors as Wemby, the performance is not the same. Sidy Cissoko did not step on the floor during the game against the Kings.
Rayan Rupert
3 minutes of play for three points thanks to the only 3-point shot he took. If Victor Wembanyama was in triple-double mode, Rayan Rupert released the triple 3.
Nicolas Batum
Batman had an important role in the Clippers' victory over the Nuggets with his 3 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
