As Vincent Collet explained: “We had to face an unprecedented situation with my staff, pushing back the announcement of the roster until today. We exchanged a lot of different opinions before expressing a final choice. It was a difficult decision due to the medical concerns for some players (Poirier, Séraphin) and the number of the player missing. Kim (Tillie) has been exemplary, as always, in the team since the beginning of the preparation. Nevertheless, the emergence and the profile of Louis Labeyrie, who brings different options on the court, pushed us to decide in favor of the latter. I want to thank Kim for his work and his behavior and I wish him an excellent season with his new club Olympiacos“.

The final roster includes the following players: Thomas Heurtel, Antoine Diot, Leo Westermann, Nando De Colo, Edwin Jackson, Evan Fournier, Axel Toupane, Boris Diaw, Louis Labeyrie, Joffrey Lauvergne, Kevin Seraphin and Vincent Poirier.
