Paris lost again: Valence and T.J. Shorts pushed the Parisians down the EuroLeague standings.

On Friday evening, Paris Basketball returned to the Adidas Arena but lost 93:104 to Valence. It was the Parisians’ sixth defeat in seven EuroLeague games. The team’s position is now unmistakable.

Particularly striking was the role of T.J. Shorts: According to “L'Équipe”, the former Betclic Elite MVP dominated his former teammates. At the same time, Nadir Hifi and T.J. Warren remained absent for Paris.

The record after the game is: one win, six defeats and a tie for 18th place. Paris therefore sit in the lower end of the EuroLeague table. The return to the Adidas Arena, at any rate, did not improve the team’s situation at this stage.

The Record: One Win in Seven Games

The situation

Six defeats in seven games mean Paris won only once during that period. 93 points were not enough against Valence: the opponent reached 104, scoring eleven more points. The defeat fits seamlessly into the Parisians’ record so far.

The missing players

According to the report, Nadir Hifi and T.J. Warren were still absent. No reasons for their absences are given. A direct connection between the two absences and the defeat therefore cannot be established—the game was played without them.

T.J. Shorts: A Familiar Opponent With a Strong Performance

Shorts against his former teammates

T.J. Shorts was the former Betclic Elite MVP and dominated his former teammates. For Paris, Shorts was therefore not only an opponent but also a former teammate. His performance in Valence’s victory was particularly striking.

A game with two angles

Paris had to face the opponent while also coping with personnel absences. With Shorts, Paris also came up against a player who knew the team from their shared time. The fact that Paris lost by 11 points illustrates how emphatic the defeat was.

18th Place: Where Paris Stands After the Game

Tied for 18th place

According to the report, the 93:104 defeat leaves Paris tied for 18th place. The six defeats and one win in seven games, together with the ranking, paint an unequivocal picture of the team’s current form.

What the night showed

At the end, three hard facts remain: 93:104, one win in seven games and 18th place. T.J. Shorts delivered the most striking performance against his former teammates, while Paris played without Nadir Hifi and T.J. Warren. No further reliable conclusions can be drawn from the available information about the game.
