Seven French people were on deck last night in or around the NBA. Rudy Gobert, Alex Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly were solid in defeat, Nico Batum and Guerschon Yabusele crossed paths in Philly, and Armel Traore and Killian Hayes played in the G League. Here is the summary of the night from our French people across the Atlantic!
NBA night results
Rudy Gobert
10 points and 20 rebounds against the reigning champions, almost no misses apart from one or two slips. Big match for the Gobe, quite surprised to see Julius Randle give him the blow in the first action. According to our sources present on site, Randle shouted “that’s done” at that moment.
Alex Sarr
17 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks against the Pacers. Big match for No. 2 of the last Draft, who is getting back into gear after a complicated week.
Bilal Coulibaly
17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and some great defensive highlights for Bilou, also the author of a big match against the Indiana Campayous.

Guerschon Yabusele
Starting in the absence of, among others, Joel Embiid and Paul George, Guerschon took the opportunity to score 6 points and 6 rebounds. But Yab lost as many matches in a month as he lost in a year with Real in 2023-24. Roughly.
Nicolas Batum
3 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists. And the 3 points of victory.
Killian Hayes
He played with his team the Long Island Nets (G League). 12 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists against the Raptors. Well, not against the “real” Raptors, but that’s it.
Armel Traore
18 points and 3 rebounds with the South Bay Lakers. Armel is doing his part, and perhaps he even started his day by watching his little brother play with the French team against Cyprus.
