Wembanyama preferred this option to that of joining Paris Basket, which was also ready to welcome the player from Chesnay, in the Yvelines.
Arrived at Asvel last summer, he activated his exit clause at the end of June, to the great despair of the triple champion of France, who intended to gain strength with him next season.
"We didn't understand.
It was a two-year project, he was injured six months in the year.
It was hard to find a rhythm.
He never really had time to fit into the squad, coach TJ Parker said on our Twitch show on Thursday.
The coming year is the year of the draft, it was the most important.
We had started to build something, but that's how it is.
