A little habit to get into this season, all you have to do is come here every Sunday to find out what the week of our French people in the NBA was made of, with all the stats and incredible prose you need to feel good. This week ? Rudy Gobert vomited when he saw his colleagues “defend” in his absence, Evan Fournier went back to winning games, Nicolas Batum is back in the game and Sekou Doumbouya got his rental back in Los Angeles. Send the Franco-French balance sheet!
# EVAN FOURNIER
It’s going much better in New York, because it’s winning games again and that’s still the goal of the game. Three wins in a row for the Knicks, five in the last six games and even 8-3 since Christmas, and an Evan Fournier who took the turn well after his match at 41 pawns against Boston. Cam Reddish came in to put some density in the wings and the Madison starts to roar again, we breathe in Vavane Land.
- Knicks vs Spurs: 18 points at 5/12 in shooting including 4/7 from the parking lot and 4/5 in throws, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in 22 minutes
- Knicks vs Mavericks: 13 points at 5/9 in shooting including 2/4 from the parking lot and 1/2 in throws, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 33 minutes
- Knicks @ Hawks: 18 points at 7/13 shooting including 4/8 from the parking lot
# RUDY GOBERT
Absent because he was in health and safety protocol, Rudy spent his week puking at the game of his colleagues. Jordan Clarkson who chained the useless gri-gris, Hassan Whiteside who feeds the Shaqtin’ A Fool and in the end the team of the best defender in the League for five years became the worst defense in the League in a week. Wouldn’t that be the perfect definition of the term… valuable? Go shoo, come back quickly, and see you in February at the All-Star Game?
- Jazz @ Pistons : DNP
- Jazz vs Cavaliers : DNP
# NICOLAS BATUM
After a fortnight spent on the téco, Nico is back in the game and tries to keep his Clippers afloat despite the absence of the two stars of the Californian franchise. For the moment it holds and partly thanks to the science of the game of the ex-Manceau, not thanks to that of the ex-Bledceau. The Clippers’ project remains unclear this year, but Nico is still one of the centerpieces.
- Clippers vs Hawks: 10 points at 4/9 shooting including 2/6 from the parking lot, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 against in 30 minutes
- Clippers vs Nuggets: 6 points at 2/6 shooting including 2/5 from the parking lot, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 26 minutes
- Clippers @ Pelicans: 6 points at 2/5 in shooting including 0/2 from the parking lot and 2/2 in throws, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks in 24 minutes
- Clippers @ Spurs: 13 points at 4/9 in shooting including 1/4 from the parking lot and 4/5 in throws, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 27 minutes
# FRANK NTILIKINA
Franky grabbed the few minutes offered to him since the return of Luka Doncic and he saw at the same time the beginning of the emergence of Josh Green on his post, not necessarily good news. But Frank Ntilikina has been part of the roster of one of the best teams in the League for a month and that’s already not bad.
- Mavericks vs Bulls : 0/1 au tir en 2 minutes
- Mavericks @ Knicks: 2 points at 1/1 shooting and 1 rebound in 1 minute
- Mavericks @ Grizzlies: 0/1 shooting and 1 rebound in 3 minutes
- Mavericks vs Magic: 3 points at 1/2 shooting including 1/1 from the parking lot, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 6 minutes
# KILLIAN HAYES
We move forward, slowly. The Pistons game has sometimes looked like something since Christmas, Killian has not always been the main responsible but Kiki is there, holder, he plays his 25 minutes per game and makes the efforts in defense if not already. become a crack. The Pistons are in draft form, Killian is one too, don’t be in a hurry.
- Pistons vs Jazz: 5 points at 2/8 shooting including 1/1 from the parking lot, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in 23 minutes
- Pistons @ Bulls: 8 points at 4/11 shooting including 0/4 from the parking lot, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals in 33 minutes
- Pistons vs Raptors: 5 points at 2/5 in shooting including 0/1 from the parking lot and 1/2 in throws, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 against in 26 minutes
# THÉO MALEDON
Anybody hear from Theo Maledon? Last I heard, he was seen inside the mascot and serving hot dogs at the Paycom Center bar.

- Thunder @ Wizards : DNP
- Thunder @ Nets : DNP
- Thunder vs Cavs : DNP
# TIMOTHE LUWAWU-CABARROT
Freshly guaranteed until the end of the season by the Hawks, Timo thought he would land in a Conference finalist team and among the franchises that are rising in the NBA. Except that in reality he has tumbled into the worst brothel in the League for two months, where everyone is sulking, where no one defends, where each match is just one more defeat. We just hope he gets paid on time, huh.
- Hawks @ Clippers: 14 points at 5/8 in shooting including 2/5 from the parking lot and 2/2 in throws, 4 rebounds and 1 steal in 23 minutes
- Hawks vs Heat: 4 points at 1/4 in shooting including 0/2 from the parking lot and 2/2 in throws, 3 assists and 1 steal in 13 minutes
- Hawks @ Heat: 3 points at 1/3 from the parking lot, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in 17 minutes
- Hawks vs Knicks: 5 points at 2/3 shooting including 1/2 from the parking lot in 15 minutes
# KILLIAN TILLIE
Health and safety protocol, you know, seems that everyone has to go there.
- Grizzlies @ Lakers: 1.40 minutes of play and 140 smiles in front of the replay of Ja Morant’s counter
- Grizzlies vs Warriors : DNP
- Grizzlies vs Wolves : DNP

# DOUMBOUYA RESCUE
The good news of the week, since the Lakers decided on Wednesday to repatriate the Doumbz to California by offering him a two-way contract. We don’t understand much about it, Sekou has for the moment trotted a little in the G League, but at the same time does anyone here understand anything about the Lakers season?

And in the G League:
- South Bay Lakers vs Rio Grande Valley : DNP
- South Bay Lakers vs Salt Lake City: 3 points at 1/5 shooting including 1/3 from the parking lot, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in 15 minutes
# OLIVIER SARR

- Oklahoma City Blue vs Austin Spurs: 17 points at 6/9 in shooting including 3/3 from the parking lot and 2/2 in throws, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 against in 20 minutes
# PETR CORNELIE
Dirty news this time since the Nuggets decided earlier this week to get rid of their Frenchie and give his contract to the enemy of France Davon Reed. Hoping that the Petard will bounce back, and that he will be offered somewhere a little more than the 38 minutes played in total in the jersey of the Nuggets.
# YVES PONS
