French basketball players abroad
Latest Articles
The 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.
There are also a number of players who are not French but have had such an impact in France that they been adopted by their French clubs. So we will also follow their career from time to time.
