French basketball players abroad



Edwige Lawson-Wade © womensbasketball-in-france.comThe increase in the numbers of French basketball players abroad warrants a section of its own.It is s common practise for the WNBA to use the term overseas players while referring to foreign players like Sandrine Gruda and Edwige Lawson-Wade (in picture) when they are playing in the American WNBA.

However we will use the term coming from abroad for players coming from outside France.

You will find a number of French players in some of the top clubs in the Czech Republic, Latvia, Italy, Russia, Spain and Turkey.
