The Ligue Nationale de Basketball (LNB), France’s top-tier basketball league, has officially approved the registration of three medical substitutes this week. These players are being brought in to cover for injured teammates, easing the workload on coaches Tony Parker, Freddy Fauthoux, and TJ Parker. The approved players—Juhann Begarin, Tyger Campbell, and Filip Stanic—are set to play in French league games this weekend.
Juhann Begarin, a French guard, has signed with ASVEL until November 8 as a medical substitute for Mathis Dossou-Yovo. Begarin brings physical strength and experience from EuroLeague matches, but he will not fill the role of a traditional center. As a result, Tony Parker’s team will continue using a pivot duo of Massa and Bolomboy, and may employ small-ball strategies to compensate for the lack of a traditional center.
Tyger Campbell, an American point guard, has returned to France to join JL Bourg as a temporary replacement for Tyson Walker until November 22. Campbell trained at UCLA and maintained his fitness in the United States during the summer. His quick approval by the LNB allows Freddy Fauthoux to add a reliable point guard to the roster, addressing the absence of Walker and another player, Hugo Robineau.
Filip Stanic, a German center, has joined the Chorale de Roanne to replace Darius Hannah, who suffered a torn cruciate ligament. Stanic’s contract runs until May 2027, and he is expected to contribute immediately with his rebounding, defensive presence, and ability to set screens. This move marks Stanic’s first opportunity to play outside of Germany, offering the team a strong interior presence during a critical period.
