Allan Dokossi is a newcomer to Paris, as announced by the EuroLeague participant on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old power forward spent the last two seasons with JDA Dijon, combining France’s Betclic Elite with the Basketball Champions League in the 2023-24 campaign and the FIBA Europe Cup in the 2024-25 campaign. The next continental challenge will be in the top tier of EuroLeague Basketball with the team based in the French capital.
Dokossi averaged 6.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks per contest over 17 appearances in the Europe Cup, after putting up 7.9 points and 7.6 rebounds per game over 12 appearances in the Champions League. The latest domestic tally amounted to 6.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.9 steals per contest in 31 games.
Before La Jeanne, he went from the junior to the senior team of Fos-sur-Mer, playing in the first and second divisions of France between 2018 and 2023. At the international level, he suited up for the Central African Republic in the Qualifiers of the FIBA World Cup 2023 and the Qualifiers of the 2021 and 2025 editions of the AfroBasket.
Earlier Tuesday, Julius Thomas was promoted to the position of associate head coach to serve under the new head coach of Paris, Francesco Tabellini.
Founded in 2018, the French upstart debuted in the top-flight division of France in 2021, won the continental BKT EuroCup and the domestic Leaders Cup in 2024, and followed up by completing the jump to the EuroLeague in the 2024-25 season and also capturing the Betclic Elite championship.
