Kenny Kasiama joins Denain

Kenny Kasiama, a 23-year-old basketball player from France, has joined Denain after the team secured his medical clearance. He previously played for JA Vichy in the ELITE 2 championship, appearing in 38 matches last season.

Kasiama's physical attributes and playing style

Standing 1.97 meters tall, Kasiama is versatile, able to play in positions 3 and 4. At JA Vichy, he averaged 4.7 points, 3 rebounds, and 0.9 key passes per game, though his shooting accuracy was 34% overall, with only 16.4% from three-point range.

Transfer timeline and potential debut

His qualification is currently being validated, and he could debut as early as Friday, October 30, during Denain’s home game against Nantes, provided there are no administrative delays. This would mark his return to the ELITE 2 championship, which he previously experienced with JA Vichy.

Previous plans and unexpected change

Kasiama was originally expected to join a Monaco club in Nationale 1 for the 2026-2027 season. However, that club was not accepted into the championship, leaving Kasiama without a team. This transfer to Denain allows him to continue his career in ELITE 2, where he also participated in the preseason with ALM Evreux.
