After an 18-season NBA career, Nicolas Batum is set to return to France and suit up for ASVEL next season.
The news was first reported by Backdoor Podcast.
Batum averaged 9.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists over his NBA career, with a career-high 15.1 points per game during the 2016-17 season.
Having transitioned into a valuable role player in recent years, Batum spent the last six seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers—aside from a brief stint with the Philadelphia 76ers—while consistently shooting around 40% from three-point range.
At ASVEL, he will reunite with Tony Parker, under whose leadership the club is building its project. The two also shared some of the greatest moments in the history of the French national team.
An official announcement is expected soon.
