Former NBA guard Andre Roberson to sign with Asvel in the EuroLeague
Former NBA guard Andre Roberson is set to make his EuroLeague debut. The 32-year-old player started the season in France with Cholet Basket, averaging 12.2ppg, 5.4rpg, and 2.8apg in the first five games. According to L'Equipe, he will leave the team to sign with another French club, Tony Parker's Asvel Villeurbanne, which also competes in the EuroLeague. Roberson has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder between 2013 and 2020. In 2016 he was part of the starting five along white Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka and Steven Adams, that arrived to the Western Conference finals before losing against the Warriors.
In 2018, Roberson ruptured his patellar tendon in his left knee. After two years he came back playing 7 game in the 2019/20 season. The next season he played 5 games with the Nets. He returned to play in the GLeague only in 2022/23. After a year spent playing in the Dubai International Tournament with the Philippines club alongside Andray Blatche and Dwight Howard, he participated in the TBT Tournament with the Colorado Alumni after the GLeague experience. Now he is ready to play in the Euroleague where Asvel has a 2-5 record so far in this season.
