The beautiful story of the Women’s League season has come to an end. Narrowly eliminated by Basket Landes in the semi-final, Tarbes will have to look into rebuilding next season’s squad. Obviously, the subject of an extension by Dominique Malonga appears to be central in François Gomez’s assembly.
If the delegate president of ASVEL, Marie-Sophie Obama, explained on the set of BFM Lyon that she could count on the neo-international next season – in the same way as Juste Jocyte, Laura Quevedo, Alexia Chery, Sandrine Gruda and Marine Fauthoux, courted by Mersin – this could not be the case. Under contract until 2026 and loaned this year to TGB, she would not want to return to Lyon according to Progress.
« She indicated that she wanted to stay in Tarbes, her favorite club, and for our part, we want to keep her. He has two years of contract left at ASVEL but everything can be worked out… », indicated François Gomez, the TGB coach, to the Lyon newspaper. After such a season, optimism to retain the potential future number one in the WNBA draft is there on the Tarbes side.
Except that ASVEL has assured that Dominique Malonga will make his return in a press release which also explains that Marine Fauthoux has activated her exit clause. Who to believe?
Tea Cléante, first Lyon recruit
Moreover, Progress announces that Tea Cléante is the first recruit of ASVEL version 2024-2025. The leader from Dunkirk, U16 European champion, is coming out of a three-year course at INSEP. She averaged 9.4 points and 2.5 assists in 28 minutes in Ligue 2 this season with the Federal Center. ASVEL would also have offered a professional contract to winger Justine Mouyokolo while Aicha Camara will continue at Montbrison (LF2) and Maëlys Faurat at Roanne (NF1).
The sponge Dominique Malonga: “Being number one in the WNBA draft is not impossible”
Third scorer for the French team during the TQO in China, Dominique Malonga, 18, is gaining strength in the Women’s League. François Gomez, Isabelle Yacoubou and Jean-Aimé Toupane are unanimous on the subject of “the sponge”, who is aiming for first place in the 2025 WNBA draft. Meeting in Tarbes.
