Peak clean”>Los Angeles Clippers (101-99), Friday in the NBA, the North American basketball league.
Aligned in the starting five, Camara played 30 minutes, time to score 19 points (5/9 shooting and 7/8 free throws), the best total for his team and the match, while adding 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 interception and 1 block.
The Blazers will continue their pre-season on the night of Sunday to Monday in Belgium with a trip to Sacramento. Portland will begin its season on the night of October 23 to 24 with the reception of Golden State and Stephen Curry.
Camara will not be the only Belgian to play in the NBA this season after the draft of Ajay Mitchell this summer. The point guard was selected by New York before being transferred to Oklahoma City where he signed a two-way contract. This means he will be able to play for both the Thunder and its affiliate team in the G-League, the NBA’s developmental league.
